Labor philosopher, journalist and co-founder of the “Nouvel Observateur”, anti-nuclear activist, André Gorz (1923-2007) was a key player in the birth of political ecology in the early 1970s. On the occasion of the centenary of his birth and while the climate crisis is becoming the number one concern of the French, “l’Obs” invites intellectuals, activists and politicians on February 9 to tell us how its thinking helps us to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
