The Green Book of the Academy Space, Environment, Risk and Resilience n°2

The Academy Space, Environment, Risks and Resilience focuses on natural, health and anthropogenic hazards and risks. Our goal is to better understand the complexity of the processes involved, characterize their diversity and interconnections, and define their social and environmental links. As such, ourobjective is to contribute to the development of research that promotes the sustainable well-being of our societies, our environments and, more generally, our ecosystems. In other words, the Academy's domain covers the possible Holocene to Anthropocene transition that encompasses space, human cultural achievements, political and economic systems and a variety of environmental effects. The research projects united and supported by our Academy are therefore necessarily transdisciplinary in nature, as they address challenging questions about objects or systems that are complex in nature and diversity.This book, in its second edition, is organized into chapters corresponding to the four research themes of the Academy, namely Anthropogenic health and environmental risks; Natural hazards and their impact on the environment, cities and society; Energy- and resource- related environmental challenges; Threats to oceans and coastal areas; with an additional chapter for the scientific events and workshops. For each project, a short summary is presented together with its members, budget, possible directions for future development and actions, and its transdisciplinary added value. We hope that this brief description of these projects will provide the opportunity for new research ideas and collaborations, and more than that, the opportunity for optimism regarding the challenges that are driving research on our so-called Anthropocene era.
