These conventions are: - Biodiversity Convention - CITES Convention - Ramsar Convention - Bern Convention - Bonn Convention - Whaling Convention - Helsinki Convention - OSPAR Convention - World Heritage Convention - European Landscape Convention - Granada Convention - Malta Convention and - Aarhus Convention There is a short description of the historical background for the conventions. The most important provisions and their relevance to the Nordic countries are also described.

La 4e de couv. indique : "Depuis 2012, les Positive Economy Forums, lancés par PlaNet Finance, présidés par Jacques Attali et Arnaud Ventura, fédèrent des femmes et des hommes de bonne volonté qui veulent faire émerger une société et une économie plus justes. Ensemble, ils nous invitent à créer et entreprendre dans l'intérêt des générations futures et à développer un altruisme rationnel. Ce Positive Book se veut le porte-voix de toutes les personnes qui partagent ces valeurs. Que sera le monde en 2030? Qui le dirige(ra)? La finance peut-elle devenir plus juste? Comment entreprendre autrement? Que sera l'éducation demain? Comment faire en sorte que la santé soit un droit fondamental pour tous dans le monde entier? Comment changer les modèles? Comment éviter la surchauffe de la planète? De Jimmy Carter à Jean-Louis Étienne, Edgar Morin, Ellen MacArthur, Muhammad Yunus, Saskia Sassen, Richard Branson, Pierre Rabhi, Cynthia Fleury ... des chefs d'État, des Prix Nobel, des professeurs de Yale, de Harvard, de Columbia, des diplômés des plus grandes écoles - Oxford, Polytechnique, l'Essec -, des chefs d'entreprise, des présidents d'ONG, des philosophes, des scientifiques, des climatologues, des artistes visionnaires démontrent et expliquent pourquoi, comment il est aujourd'hui indispensable que chacun d'enlre nous s'engage pour un monde meilleur. Comme l'affirme Joseph Stiglitz, Prix Nobel d'économie, " ne pas agir serait impardonnable ". Que dirons-nous à nos enfants? Que nous connaissions l'état de la planète et l'injustice des inégalités criantes, mais que nous n'avons rien fait? Impossible. Il est temps de passer à l'action. Pour bâtir une société positive."

The primary purpose of Prophetic Liturgy is to inquire into the prophetic dimension of the liturgy. Some questions addressed in the book are: How can a liturgy be prophetic? How can liturgy form and transform individuals and communities? In which sense does the liturgy facilitate a living participation in socio-political-economic life? How does the sacramental practice challenge the church to mediate God's gifts of grace, love, justice, and mercy to the world? Possible answers for these questions begin to emerge as we develop an understanding of religious praxis as an active and dynamic prophetic action, in which the community of faith claims its identity, promotes an engaged faithful Christian life, and affirms the sacramental life of the church as a source of formation and inspiration for prophetic praxis, mediating God's gift for the life of the world. There is risk in presenting an option for prophetic praxis, in that it may go beyond the comfort zone of a community and engender spiritual and political alienation. The most challenging ethical hope of this book is to provide the worshiping community with prophetic awareness of socio-economic injustice, while at the same time preserving the community's historical-cultural identity, its religious values, and its sacramental spirituality.
