Sortir du déni climatique, entrer en action
Back cover
Facing the climate emergency, why do so many of us remain in denial? Why, despite overwhelming scientific evidence, do we continue to act as if nothing is happening? This innovative essay explores the psychological, sociological, and political mechanisms that prevent us from facing reality.
The author skillfully analyzes different types of climate denial: denial of science, denial of responsibility, denial of urgency, and denial of the effectiveness of action. Each form of denial is examined through the prism of cognitive psychology, behavioral sociology, and political analysis.
But this essay does not merely diagnose: it proposes concrete solutions. How to overcome denial? How to transform awareness into effective action? How to create collective dynamics that allow us to overcome inaction?
By crossing disciplinary approaches, the author offers a holistic vision of the climate crisis and our reactions to it. An essential work for understanding the obstacles to climate action and, above all, for overcoming them.
