Briefing - at the Initiatives of the Futures of Great Rivers on European and Mediterranean Deltas facing effects of climate change

Activity: Contribution to Event/Engagement › Contribution to Conference/Workshop

Description

Involvement in the 13th International Session of the Initiatives of the Futures of Great Rivers on “European and Mediterranean Deltas facing effects of climate change:What are the paths of sustainable development?” to support the Tour de Valat and CNR River-related actors, 13-19 October 2024, Arles, France. Katherine Daniel, Director of the School of Cybernetics in Australia, describes the Australian reality: "For 30 years, we have been experiencing increasingly intense droughts, floods and fires." She warns of the acceleration of climate crises and pleads for stronger anticipatory policies: "We have to see elsewhere in the world what is happening to be ready. You have to anticipate in order to be able to anticipate. » The need to strengthen dialogue between deltas was confirmed by Katherine Daniel: "By working together, by sharing data and knowledge, we can build collective futures that make sense." Anticipation is one of the key conditions for a sustainable future. Katherine Daniel insists on the importance of anticipating. It is not just a question of reacting to events, but of projecting oneself into the future, imagining possible scenarios and preparing in advance. 55 Katherine Daniel highlights the role of technology in crisis management, while recalling the importance of cultural and human approaches: "In Australia, our water systems are old, but they remain examples of resilience in the face of a changing environment."
