Nicolas Eckert et al., « Environmental risks in 2020: a roadmap for INRAE », Natures Sciences Sociétés, ID : 10670/1.ff2238...
INRAE conducted a collective prospective analysis on environmental risks in an inter- and transdisciplinary perspective within the framework of sustainability sciences. Risks for societies, ecosystems and the environment have been considered jointly and in a holistic way. This article sums-up the four scientific priorities identified, expressed in transverse ways: (i) the risk concept as a research object within a nonstationary context, (ii) from hazard/danger to decision within a systemic framework, (iii) emerging risks of high societal resonance, (iv) multiple risks. A roadmap to reach these goals is also proposed, including human resources, infrastructures, scientific animation and partnerships. These conclusions should participate to the structuration of French and international research communities, and thus constitute a significant contribution to the effort required by the current environmental emergency.
