“Everywhere, the Earth suffers, agonizes, and cannot regenerate without the goodwill of humanity, hence the necessity and urgency of substantial work. Humans must stop believing that their fate is separate from that of other living beings.” These words from Nicolas Hulot highlight his relentless fight against an issue often taken lightly by politicians. This nature enthusiast has used his fame to aid the ecological struggle by establishing the Nicolas Hulot Foundation for Nature and Man in 1995. Recognized as a public-interest organization in August 1996, this association’s role is to raise awareness about the dangers the planet faces. Its mission is to contribute to the discovery of nature and the protection of the environment.
Conference Themes
The conference aims to first introduce the Foundation and its environmental mission. Annabelle Jaeger, mission officer, will discuss the Foundation’s role.
She will also provide an update on the Grenelle Environmental Agreement and the Foundation’s proposals. Topics concerning sustainable economy will be addressed. Finally, there will be a presentation of the Foundation-General Council of Alpes-Maritimes project, including its component on businesses. This project aims to create a hub for environmental study and training. More specifically, it intends to establish an international center for sustainable development.
