Thermal Security and the Lived Experience of Urban Heat Waves
This article explores the concept of thermal security as an analytical lens for understanding how individuals experience, interpret, and respond to urban heat waves. Drawing on Anthony Giddens' notion of ontological security, thermal security refers to the continuity and reliability of safe and comfortable thermal conditions that allow people to sustain everyday routines and a sense of existential stability. Through a systematic review of 26 qual…
Barcelona residents’ concerns of heatwaves, air pollution, and noise
Environmental stressors pose significant threats to human well-being, especially in urban areas. While extensive research—particularly in the United States—has documented higher exposures in socially vulnerable neighborhoods, studies that examine and compare residents’ perceptions of multiple environmental risks, while also accounting for actual exposure levels and neighborhood characteristics, remain relatively more limited. Our study addresses …
Au-delà des idées reçues
Possible operational levers to improve agricultural innovation systems include innovation platforms to support interaction among various stakeholders. Seed networks are one such example. Li Mestère, the irst network of this type in Wallonia, has brought together a diverse range of stakeholders to manage the crop diversity of cereals. It facilitates the circulation of seeds, knowledge and know-how that are inaccessible in the formal seed system. H…

Dans les années 2000, des agriculteurs désireux de cultiver des blés correspondant à leurs besoins et soucieux d’affirmer leur autonomie vis-à-vis de l’industrie semencière, ont entrepris de relancer la sélection paysanne à la ferme. Des collaborations ont été tissées avec des généticiens de l’Inra, et se sont progressivement développées dans le cadre de projets financés. Or les financements de recherche impliquent une formalisation des partenari…
