How to Help Ukrainian Refugees | Opinion

MICHAEL DOYLE AND DOROTHEA KOEHN , CARNEGIE COUNCIL FOR ETHICS IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

Like so many refugees before them, Ukrainian refugees have been driven from their homes by violence. Following the Russian invasion, more than 5 million—the largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II—have fled to Poland, Romania, Moldova, Hungary and Germany. They need shelter, food, health care and a way to resume aspects of normal life, including education for their children. The vast majority would like nothing more than to be able to return to a Ukraine at peace. They need help.

The categorical imperative of transformation (Liberation, January 21, 2014)

A new path for humanity (Le Temps, January 17, 2014)

The former diplomat and the sociologist met on July 19, 2011, at the Theater of Ideas, the cycle of intellectual meetings of the Festival d'Avignon.

The last chance bioeconomy (Le Monde, June 28, 2011)

Contribution by René Passet

Is there an economic problem bigger and more urgent than the survival of mankind? In 2050, the world will have around 9 billion inhabitants, all of whom legitimately aspire to the standards of living of currently developed peoples. However, the generalization of current European or American standards would require a quantity of resources representing 4 to 7 times those available to our planet without exhausting its productive heritage.

Release, May 23, 2011: Three Contributions

It is difficult to escape the alerts announcing the perils threatening humanity and its survival on the only planet where it knows how to live. But this rhetoric should not replace the analysis of the specific challenges we face. We must first observe and combat the lack of ethical impetus in places of power: multinationals, more powerful than many States, are totally devoid of it; the European Union, which could play an innovative role on the world stage, has not yet achieved the unity and efficiency which would raise it to the level of its claims; the United Nations, which had set objectives likely to meet the needs of the so - the absence of effective legal control which would confer on the standards which they propose a real power of regulation.
