@alexanderdecroo
,
If you think you can prioritize curbing CO2 emissions over the loss of biodiversity, you need to learn about the dynamics of the Earth system.
We are already beyond the safe zone in 6 of the 9 planetary boundaries.
NOT the time for a pause.
L’Académie royale de Belgique n’a pas l’habitude de commenter les décisions politiques.
En tant que conservatoire des sciences ET des arts, nous estimons nécessaire de produire la déclaration suivante :
La culture n’est ni un luxe ni un risque sanitaire.
We did it!
The first edition of the Global Forum on
#DemocratizingWork
was an amazing success thanks to your involvement!
3043 attendees from 85 countries
387 speakers in 129 panels in 9 languages
16 national chapters
Where can you go with a simple op-ed? Onward and upward!
In these difficult times, feeling so energized reading the proofs of this extraordinary group of female academic leaders,
following up on the
#DemocratizingWork
manifesto.
Release on May Day.
Thanks

Important leadership from Spain to reclaim FREEDOM as a democratic exercice anchored into the valuation of others including the planet, and in a necessary continuous expansion — it can’t stop at the door of the workplace. And it won’t. Look at the new Spanish government for hope!

Remember: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world, said M.Mead.
Indeed, that’s the only thing that ever has.
Econ101 Exam question: Expose why unemployment is a natural phenomenon.
This is a preposterous question. Yet, a central belief of our economic system.
Our societies can do better to secure a future to all, care for each others and the planet.
#democratizingwork

@ptcherneva
: unemployment is a policy choice. In WW2, govts discovered you can create employment for everyone. Yet unemployment is now considered a natural inevitable phenomenon, eg ‘natural rate of unemployment’. But we don’t talk about natural rates with other social phenomena.
In Belgium, we are witnessing the logical endgame of the Reductio ad Corporationem:

Hey

workers and users, this corporate governance is so nuts.
A despot comes in with billions and can buy all that your labor has achieved?
Of course the CEO should report to you too.
