Our Challenges for Sustainable Development

1

The paradigms that constitute our societies are on the verge of collapsing because planetary boundaries have been exceeded.

2

We worry about future generations, leading to counterproductive behaviors that increase the use of natural resources.

3

The climate is becoming unpredictable, access to fresh water is becoming scarce, and biodiversity is entering a 6th mass extinction crisis.

4

More and more people and businesses want to act for environmental protection but don't know how.

Deborah Pardo, environmental speaker, scientist specializing in albatrosses, explorer.

Originally from and based in Marseille, Deborah is an explorer of Life, with an insatiable curiosity, contagious optimism, and boundless energy.

Deborah holds a Ph.D. in population ecology. She spent months in albatross colonies in Antarctica, modeling the threats of human activities for 8 years in laboratories across 4 different countries, and publishing scientific articles at the highest level.

She then ventured into impact entrepreneurship by developing leadership programs for female entrepreneurs at sea, for SME leaders in collective intelligence, and for environmental strategy in boardrooms.

She is convinced that each person can extend their wingspan like an albatross, the largest bird in the world, provided they question themselves and truly understand the complexity of the challenges surrounding us.

A mother of two children, she was elected Top 20 Women Innovators, admitted to the French Society of Explorers, and still spends part of the year on sea expeditions.
