SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION AND THE WORKPLACE

What if sustainable development needed to be radically rethought?

Faced with the limitations of a model focused on infinite growth, new paths are emerging to reconcile social justice, preservation of the planet and economic democracy. Sustainable degrowth, just transition, deep ecology, climate justice… these are all concepts that challenge our societies and open up new perspectives.

This book offers a critical reflection on the evolution of sustainable development and explores ambitious alternatives: how can we transform our modes of production and consumption? What role should schools and businesses play in this transition? Why and how should these new approaches be taught?

A call to rethink our collective future, to imagine a more resilient, equitable society that respects the Earth’s limits.

True to its educational vocation, the FEDE intends to demonstrate through the publication of this book that education and seduction are words that pair up very well.

Conclusion

The co-authors:

A former student of ENA (Léon Gambetta class), Doctor of Philosophy, former advisor on ‘Environment and Territories’ in charge of transport and sustainable development issues at the Presidency of the Republic, opens the book by carefully examining the concept of civic skills; what emerges is that these skills, which he defines rigorously, can and must be taught.

Nicolas Ligneul is a senior lecturer (HDR) in public law at the University of Paris-Est Créteil and assessor to the Dean of the Faculty of Law, responsible for external relations. A solicitor in Paris, he is a certified specialist in commercial, business and competition law, as well as credit and consumer law.

An expert with the United Nations (FAO) and the European Commission, a member of the Trans-Europ-Express legal network, a Knight of the Order of Academic Palms and a bronze medallist of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Nicolas is often invited to foreign universities to give lectures on public and economic law. He is actively involved in assisting victims of war crimes, particularly in Ukraine, fighting against human rights violations. His contribution to justice and humanitarian causes makes him a valuable member of the FEDE Scientific Council.

With a PhD in Political Science from ENS Lyon and IEP Lyon, Itidel Fahloun Dehimi has nearly twenty years of experience in teaching and training. She has directed the management degree programme at IAE Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Étienne, recruited master’s students at Saint Joseph University in Beirut, and contributed to educational engineering at the University of Sfax in Tunisia. She currently co-directs a private higher education group.

Committed to defending human rights, Itidel was a delegate for the League of Human Rights in Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne for more than six years. In 2023, she headed the Loire Women’s and Family Rights Information Centre. Professionally, she has been a consultant for an industrial group in Mauritania, founded BlédiGreen, and advised General Schmit on the Swiss military chaplaincy. An international speaker, she has held senior administrative positions, worked on public policies for young people, and prepared a bill for the Tunisian government. A member of the ATEP editorial committee and deputy mayor of Mably, her thesis on the challenges facing migrant populations will soon be published by Karthala.
