Proteus study day: "What transition paths for a sustainable and resilient Mediterranean in 2050?"

Friday 8 November 2024 | 8h45-17h15 | MMSH (Salle Paul Albert Février)

The research programme team PROTEUS (PROspective Interdisciplinary Thinking on TErritorial USes and Risk Anticipation in the Mediterranean) and the Plan Bleu invite you to take part in a study day on the scenarios resulting from the MED 2050 foresight study.

Le Med 2050 report of the Blue Plan will be discussed by scientists, students, stakeholders from the voluntary sector and local and regional civil servants, providing us with a cross-section of views on the future of the Mediterranean.

The morning session, open to a wide audience, will be devoted to three round tables on the following themes:

• Risk and resilience in the Mediterranean
• Common goods, rights given to nature and future generations
• Economic development, growth, post-growth and sobriety.

Each round table will be followed by a debate with the audience.

In the afternoon, the Plan Bleu and PROTEUS programme teams will be organising a training workshop for some forty students in the Sociology and Geography Planning Environment (GAED) Masters courses in COAST (COASTal management and vulnerabilities) and TSA (Territoires Sociétés Aménagements). This was an opportunity to work in small groups on the development of a forward-looking methodology, «transition paths», and to engage in critical reflection on the future of Mediterranean societies.
