PlusIt's an enigma that has been with us since the early days of the pandemic. Where did this coronavirus come from that turned the world upside down? Hypotheses have been put forward and everyone has put forward their own explanation: the virus comes from a bat, a pangolin, it escaped from a Chinese lab,
PlusThe pandemic at Covid-19 is not over, let summer come. Specialists predict that it will be hot and that the scorching temperatures will break records. This is already the case, this month of April and May in South-Eastern Europe, which is suffocating. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned this Tuesday 26 May
PlusOn the occasion of the International Day for Biological Diversity celebrated on 22 May, whose theme this year is "Our Solutions are in Nature", UNESCO has posted on its website five exchanges between world-renowned experts in which they discuss the following topics
PlusIn our post-viral world, major issues concerning the environment, education, and international relations arise. UNESCO has invited leading women thinkers, specialists in fields ranging from climatology to international relations, physics and African studies, to express their vision of the challenges and opportunities.
PlusSanofi, by announcing that the United States would be the first to distribute a potential vaccine against Covid-19, provoked anger and indignation. COVID-19 has no nation or ethnicity. If the pandemic is not monitored in one country, it will accelerate beyond the borders of that country.
PlusMetaphors often allow for a better understanding of as many risk or hazard situations as possible, as in the case of the Covid-19 pandemic. They appear in almost every area of our lives, even penetrating research laboratories and playing a central role in
PlusFor weeks we have been witnessing a series of "world reversals". The Covid19 pandemic comes to us from China. Is it the result of a transfer from animals to humans, a scientific error, or a "virological war"? Whatever the outcome of the "we are at war"...
PlusWe know the opinion of the French on the state of the public hospital: 88% of them consider it to be in "danger" and 94% are in favour of increasing the means. Thus, to improve the operation of the public hospital, 87 % suggest more staff and 77 % more budget.
PlusSome kids have everything, some kids have almost nothing. In France, as in other countries, not everyone experiences confinement in the same way, of course, so great is the diversity of the regions. Many, well housed, will see family ties grow stronger. Others, large families in small spaces, are waiting with their children to be reunited.
PlusFaced with the coronavirus and the containment that it causes, Gallimard publishes one or two "Crisis leaflets" every day, free of charge, signed by some of the House's leading figures such as Erik Orsenna, Sylvain Tesson, Cynthia Fleury, Régis Debray and Danièle Sallenave, in order to reflect on the questions raised by the epidemic.
PlusThe life-crushing machine just went haywire with the coronavirus crisis. But the consequences that result from our lack of foresight make it necessary to alert and mobilize on the urgency of other dangers that have not disappeared during this pause for health reasons of the weather: global warming, disappearance, etc.
PlusTo respond to "dropping out", we must allow young people to express what they experienced during the experience of confinement and give meaning to the school curriculum. If 5% of the 12 million students in France were "lost" during the confinement, that would mean 600,000 students.
PlusOnly one species is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic: ours. As with the climate and biodiversity crises, recent pandemics are a direct consequence of human activity, in particular our global financial and economic systems, which are based on a limited paradigm that values economic growth over the long term.
PlusThe measures taken to combat the Covid-19 pandemic are disrupting our daily lives. Many see this as an opportunity to initiate more sustainable behaviours, and even hope that this experience of imposed sobriety will be transformed into a real awareness in favour of more environmentally virtuous lifestyles. This

PlusThe advent of digital technology, telecommunications, artificial intelligence and augmented reality has broken down borders, reduced distances and created a culture of sharing. In recent weeks, however, borders have closed, sharing has become more complex and the eyes of the world have refocused.
PlusRenewable energy could fuel a post-VID-19 economic recovery by boosting global GDP by nearly US$100 trillion ('92.5 trillion) by 2050, according to an official report by the International Renewable Energy Agency, which states that accelerating investment in
Plus"Only a crisis, real or perceived, produces real change," said the famous American economist Milton Friedman four decades ago. "When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are circulated."
Crises shape history. This is why some people think that the global pandemic is
