DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book aims at catalyzing our learning from the COVID-19 crisis. Numerous studies have emerged confirming that during the COVID-19 pandemic, crisis management has been far from holistic. Progress previously made towards sustainability has in many cases been reversed and global inequality has grown. This volume scrutinizes the crucial role of businesses in the lived experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and calls for a new goal system in business, establishing human dignity as the ultimate outcome of sound business. Part of the Humanism in Business Series, this book brings together a group of international experts to consolidate the lessons to be learnt from the pandemic and how it was handled. It explores the foundations of the crisis, before focusing on selected sectors and regions for analysis and, finally, drawing conclusions according to the principles of humanistic crisis management. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of business ethics, as well as policy-makers, professionals and all those who practice humanistic management.
Vieillissement, grand âge et santé publique

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLa société française a une population vieillissante. L'accroissement des générations âgées par rapport aux générations plus jeunes suscite trop souvent un certain catastrophisme. Un des premiers objectifs de cet ouvrage est d'en montrer le caractère excessif, en situant les processus de vieillissement et les différentes vieillesses dans une double perspective de parcours de vie et de rapports entre générations. Les auteurs examinent les différents thèmes de santé publique dans le domaine du vieillissement: la santé (bonne ou mauvaise) de la population âgée et ses déterminants, le système d'aides et de soins, les politiques mises en oeuvre. Ils soulignent l'enjeu principal d'aujourd'hui : offrir une prise en charge mieux adaptée et moins inégalitaire face à la complexité des interactions entre le vieillissement biologique, les maladies chroniques et les ressources de l'environnement individuel et collectif. Ils présentent également les enjeux de demain, avec une inconnue l'état de santé des personnes du très grand âge. Le financement équitable des soins de longue durée reste un enjeu important que l'allocation personnalisée d'autonomie est loin d'avoir résolu. L'allongement de la longévité moyenne, les modifications du travail salarié rendent nécessaire la réorganisation des temps sociaux et des échanges entre générations. A condition de prendre la mesure de ces changements, les problèmes de la vieillesse peuvent recevoir des réponses qui feront des personnes âgées des citoyens à part entière et non des sujets assistés. Destiné aux décideurs, gestionnaires, praticiens et étudiants impliqués dans l'organisation, le financement, la gestion et la fourniture des aides et soins aux personnes âgées, cet ouvrage s'efforce de contribuer à sortir la vieillesse du ghetto de l'assistance dans laquelle la société industrielle l'a enfermée.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter steadily declining for over a decade, global hunger is on the rise again, while various forms of malnutrition coexist. Climate change is already exacerbating this grim picture, which is why food security and food production will be a major focus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Cycle. Thanks to the participation of 250 experts from all around the world, the International Symposium on Food Security and Nutrition in the Age of Climate Change highlighted the importance of food and agricultural systems in the fight against climate change and presented concrete multi-sector solutions to address this global issue. The event placed special emphasis on the regional realities of West Africa and the Canadian North, as well as to the presence of young people and members of Indigenous and Northern communities directly affected by these issues. The summaries of these four days of plenaries, interactive workshops, and special events have been grouped under seven major themes for this publication: 1) Climate change, food security and nutrition: the issues; (2) The agriculture sectors in the context of climate change; (3) Food systems in the face of climate change; (4) Natural resources: challenges and solutions; (5) Food security and nutrition in a changing North; (6) Summary of solutions; (7) Strengthening and adapting regional and international cooperation.
