THE WORLD HAS NEVER BEEN AS WELL... 

Since the second world war, all the statistics of wars and armed conflicts are in decline(*1). The number of undernourished people has declined by 132 million between 1990 and 2012, a decrease of 6.1% over the whole of the world's population(*2). And UNESCO reveals that the literacy rate has raised from 76% of the world population in 1985 to 83.6% in 2006(*3). Also, if we consider that the existing democracies are far removed from what is a real democracy, this political regime is more respectful of its citizens than autocracies and dictatorships that have seen their numbers decline since the 80's (*4). Finally, in 2016 the global investments in renewable energies made a outperformance of $ 256 billion euros (*5). An amount more than two times higher than those devoted to new facilities for the coal and gas industry.

...AND YET THE WORLD HAS NEVER BEEN SO BAD

According to Oxfam, and after readjustment of their report on inequalities 2017, 56 people would possess more than half of the world population - the top 1% more wealth than the 99% left(*6)... Provided that the armed conflicts are declining, the UNHCR estimated that, by 2016, more than 65 million people have been forced to leave their homes(*7).

Pollution reached a peak record, 269 000 tonnes of plastic waste floating on the oceans, sometimes forming continents made of plastic : as in the north pacific, where a pile of waste plastics is agglomerating on a surface of 3.4 million km2(*8) (1844km from side to side...). ORBmédia has analyzed the great lakes waters as well as all the major cities, from New York to New delhi. Particles of plastic were found in more than 80% of their samples(*9). We are basically drinking plastic.

In terms of ecology, even if renewable energy sources are seeing their investment growing, the practical implementation of the measures let no chance to comply with the COP21 Paris agreements(*10). Deforestation of primary forests persist both in Indonesia and the Amazon. The “sustainable” labels of palm oil and soy divert attention from the real issues of those ecocides. Our responsibility in the climate change already has irreversible consequences on the environment : the coral reefs, which are home for 30 % of the marine biodiversity on 0.2% of the surface area of the seas could disappear by 2050 (*11). 20% of the plant species are endangered (*12). While the wildlife and its diversity dies at a pace unequalled since the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago (*13).
