The “Anthropocene”: Perspectives on the Coming Years / Environment and the State of the World

[Andre Francisco Pilon]

Dear Professor,
Warm regards. In view of your endeavours, I thought you’d be interested in my contributions as a Science-Policy Interface member to UNCCD, IPBES and other international fora (please see below my publications online). They deal with the economic, political, social, cultural and environmental impacts of the current paradigms of development, growth, power, wealth, work and freedom embedded into contemporary public policies, communication, advocacy, research and teaching programs, including a critical approach to the consequences of the Anthropocene's worldview on how contemporary problems are addressed and dealt with. If feasible, please share them with relevant people who may be interested in discussing these issues. With best wishes for your foundational work.
