Les enjeux en termes de sécurité alimentaire, de préservation de l’environnement et de l’amélioration des conditions de vie des populations sont au cœur des objectifs de ce siècle. Face à une croissance démographique galopante et à une forte industrialisation qui induisent des pressions sur les ressources naturelles et accélèrent le changement climatique et la désertification, de nombreuses actions sont mises en place pour parvenir à une neutralité en termes de dégradation des terres. Il s’agit de conserver et de restaurer les différents services écosystémiques, tout en utilisant rationnellement les ressources naturelles pour subvenir aux besoins de la population. Afin d’atteindre cet objectif de neutralité d’ici 2050, se succèdent et se complètent différents projets et initiatives à l’échelle nationale et internationale.

    The evolving structure of international power—from the erosion of unipolarity to the emergence of multipolarity (though still susceptible to a scenario where multipolarity evolves into a new form of bipolarity)—is giving rise to various material and ideological factors that are steering global dynamics toward a new ‘regionalization of globalization’. The real opportunity lies in not just considering a new form of regionalism, but in focusing on the potential of a new kind of region: ...

    The road to decarbonizing the planet runs through the energy transition, which includes the shift from fossil-fueled cars to renewable energy vehicles. This automotive transition is unfolding as a true revolution in the industry. The evolution toward electric and hybrid vehicles has come in tandem with the ascent of Chinese producers. In the current context of geopolitical and technological rivalries, the automotive transition has been marked by an intense trade war, with implicati ...

    From a realist perspective, during a period of rising multipolarity, the Atlantic Basin can be identified as an emerging geostrategic region and a potential focal point of geostrategic competition, especially in the Southern Atlantic, raising the sub-basin’s strategic significance and its potential strategic autonomy.

This evolution reflects the growing recognition that economic interests, rather than mere political allegiances, are driving international relations in these regions.
