Our speakers on the topic
Dimitri Carbonnelle
For over ten years, Dimitri Carbonnelle has been supporting leaders and organizations in their transformation in response to climate and energy challenges, through Livosphere, the consulting firm he founded. As spokesperson for the Shifters, he works to make complex issues accessible and tangible, particularly for the business world. Author of a forward-looking book on future scenarios, he regularly appears in the media and at major events, offering an educational and mobilizing approach. His career path resonates with the needs of organizations seeking to anticipate and adapt to environmental changes.
Conference: Adaptation and Resilience: Transforming the Company in the Face of Climate and Energy Disruptions Dimitri Carbonnelle invites you to explore your company’s vulnerabilities and resilience levers in the face of climate and energy upheavals. Through a precise analysis of risks and concrete examples tailored to each sector, you will discover how to turn environmental constraints into sustainable opportunities, and build a robust, diversified, and circular business model to confidently face the future.
Topics: transition-energetique, climat, changement-climatique, dereglement-climatique, environnement, rse, robustesse, resilience, avenir, prospective, intelligence-artificielle, transformation-digitale, innovation
Arthur Keller
An engineer and systems thinker, Arthur Keller supports institutions and communities in understanding and managing the major risks of our time, especially those linked to environmental upheavals. Having testified before the National Assembly and spoken at leading universities, he offers concrete tools to strengthen collective resilience in the face of crises. His approach combines scientific rigor, creativity, and storytelling, inviting everyone to imagine desirable futures and actively prepare for them.
Talk: HOW DO YOU IMAGINE THE FUTURE? Join Arthur Keller as he explores the four main narratives that shape our visions of the future: the cornucopian, the sustainability-focused, the mitigation-oriented, and the degrowth perspectives. Discover why most of these frameworks are outdated or ill-suited, and what concrete alternatives are available to better prepare for tomorrow’s world. Leave with key insights to understand the crucial choices facing our society.
Topics: avenir, climat, biodiversite, changement-climatique
Thibault Genissel
A former student of the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon and a researcher in biology applied to conservation, Thibault Genissel draws on a multidisciplinary background combining biology, philosophy, and agronomy. His work at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle has helped to better understand the evolutionary impact of human activities on biodiversity. He offers an in-depth reflection on the links between biodiversity crises and environmental transformations, providing valuable insights for understanding today’s challenges.
Talk: Biodiversity and Climate in Crisis: What Is the Reality of Past and Future Changes?
Dive into the heart of today’s major environmental challenges by exploring the impact of human activities on biodiversity and climate. This talk will give you a comprehensive understanding of the ongoing upheavals, from biogeochemical cycles to the dynamics of animal and plant populations. You’ll leave with key tools to grasp past, present, and future changes, as well as their implications for our society.
Themes: biodiversite, ethique, transition-ecologique, transition-societale, environnement, ecologie, changement-climatique, climat, societe
Samuel Bonvoisin
An agronomist committed to the transition and resilience of local areas, Samuel Bonvoisin has spent the past ten years working within the Biovallée, where he co-founded an eco-community, an agroforestry association, and a permaculture consulting firm. As coordinator of the Alvéoles training center, he shares, with clarity and enthusiasm, the keys to regenerative management of water and soil. His approach, rooted in concrete action, sheds light on the challenges of preserving life and inspires new paths for adapting to environmental challenges.
Talk: What if we could cultivate water? Dive into the heart of the natural mechanisms that regulate water on our planet and discover how regenerative hydrology, inspired by living systems, offers concrete solutions to today’s climate challenges. This talk will help you understand water cycles, explore innovative practices already proven elsewhere, and identify levers for action to strengthen the resilience of our regions.
Topics: eau, climat, changement-climatique, agriculture, permaculture, ecologie, biomimetisme, resilience, territoire, secheresse, transition-ecologique, design, transition, durabilite, alimentation
Olivier Barrière
A biologist by training, Olivier Barrière brings over twenty years of hands-on experience in consulting and training to support businesses, local authorities, and institutions as they face major environmental challenges. His educational approach, based on scientific popularization and concrete examples, makes the issues of climate change and ecological transition accessible to all. His ability to shed light on current transformations helps every audience better understand and take action.
Conference: CLIMATE: UNDERSTAND TO ACT BETTER During this conference, Olivier Barrière invites you to separate fact from fiction about climate change, clearly explaining its mechanisms, real-world impacts, and the main misconceptions. Participants will leave with an in-depth understanding of today’s issues, actionable levers within their reach, and solutions to build more resilient communities and lifestyles.
