What does it mean to grasp globalized issues "From the Anthropocene" from the north and from the south? What does the target of less than 2 degrees Celsius mean compared to the pre-industrial level set by the Paris Agreement?

Behind the question of the Anthropocene emerges an underlying question, a general problem, that of the vulnerability of humans and non-humans. Whether this vulnerability is that of human organizations, of humans in the face of major epidemics or of his psychological vulnerability, of a distress that is spreading in our contemporary societies, the question arises: are we all vulnerable?

At the heart of the dancefloors of the world, the capacity of bodies to connect us through movements, contacts, co-presence and the way in which they allow some to claim their identities or their fights make them tools of individual and collective emancipation.

As urgent as it may be, the discussion of global warming as the greatest ever threat to human civilization isbut one example that the overall ‘climate’ on Earth is changing to such an extent that survival is at risk. Thisissue should be understood within the wider context of the Anthropocene. Since it forms an overarchingframework for understanding the significance of climate change, population growth, environmental strains,the Covid pandemic and other global Grand Challenges, the Anthropocene is arguable among the mostimportant and wide-ranging questions of our time.

The global crisis that we have been going through for months has encouraged us to take news from our neighbors around the world: "How are you doing in Nigeria?", "Are you in lockdown in the United States too?, "And in Venezuela, what are you doing?". All week, architects, geographers and artists talk to us about where they live. From Kabul or Barcelona, from New York to Lagos, via Canton, Carúpano or Lyon, they tell us the story of “inhabited resilience”.
