The climate events of recent years confirm in real-time the situation that researchers and scientists have been describing for decades. Yet, everywhere, political ecology seems to be losing ground, and populations increasingly express distrust towards the ruling classes accused of maintaining close ties with the extractive industry and being unable to break free from growth and productivity logics. Feeling unrepresented, civil society organizes itself, and new forms of mobilization emerge, sometimes challenging the traditional exercise of democracy. Climate marches, whistleblowers, civil disobedience, site occupations, happenings in museums... At a time when the existential threat of climate change weighs more and more on humanity, a renewal of practices and democratic debate seems more necessary than ever.
