EPISODE SUMMARY
Pour ce premier épisode du podcast, je reçois Tristan Lecomte, un des pionniers du commerce équitable en tant que fondateur d’AlterEco en 1998 et aujourd’hui qui se consacre à la lutte contre le changement climatique et la déforestation, notamment via l’entreprise Pur Projet qu’il a fondée en 2008.
Le changement climatique est désormais dans toutes les têtes et toutes les entreprises sont amenées à intégrer des efforts de décarbonations dans leurs stratégie, mais qu’est ce que ça veut dire concrètement? Avec Tristan, nous parlons de sa vision de la responsabilité des entreprises, du marché du carbone, des mécanismes de compensation, d’offsetting et de insetting, de la difficulté à faire bouger les lignes et de l’urgence d’y arriver.

For the first episode of #REBOOT Business, we present a conversation between Julien Devaureix and Tristan Lecomte, one of the pioneers of fair trade and founder of AlterEco (in 1998). Today, Tristan Lecomte is dedicated to fighting climate change and deforestation, particularly with his company PUR, founded in 2008.
Climate change is now on everyone’s mind and all companies are required to integrate decarbonization efforts into their strategy, but what does that mean concretely?

Impact
There are physical & sistemic limits to infinite growth. Understanding those limits are key to re-invent a Sustainable Economy.
On fait de l’Insetting pour régénérer les écosystèmes, mais aussi pour générer des revenus additionnels pour les agriculteurs; parce qu’une ferme d’agro-forestry est beaucoup plus résiliente qu’une ferme qui fait de la monoculture…

#REBOOT Business #15 with Dennis Meadows
Dennis Meadows explores the consequences of humanity’s pursuit of infinite growth in a finite world and the urgent need to shift our focus from sustainability to resilience.
The discussion dives into the challenges of systemic change, including the societal and political resistance to acknowledging physical and planetary boundaries. Drawing from decades of research and observation, Meadows shares insights on adapting to a post-growth economy, fostering resilience at individual and community levels, and rethinking long-term goals in the face of ecological and societal constraints.
