Summary:
The global environmental landscape is constantly evolving, marked by climate change, ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss and ongoing pressure on natural resources. Faced with these challenges, environmental normativities have evolved to frame individual and collective behavior, creating new duties and rights while aiming to promote sustainability, nature conservation and environmental justice. These normativities, whether in the form of regulations, social norms or ethical principles, are on the move.
The research seminar on environmental normativities proposes an interdisciplinary exploration of emerging dynamics in the field of environmental normativities.
The central objective of this seminar was to analyze the role and place of new ecological epistemic communities in the formulation and evolution of these normativities. It brought together researchers and practitioners from both the institutional and private sectors to exchange and compare observations on normative changes and the communities behind them, fostering a rich and diverse dialogue.
