Le pouvoir caché de la pensée systèmes – Gouverner dans l’urgence climatique – The Hidden Power of Systems Thinking – Governing in the Climate Emergency.

The 2020 book by Ray Ison and Ed Straw has just been translated into French by Houda Khayame. This meant that the 27 diagrams and illustrations that I had developed with Ray Ison needed to be translated and the French words and text integrated into the originals. Alas, my schoolboy French … but a number of translation sites were so helpful.

One of the group, Franck Varenne acknowledged the team involved with the French version.

Hydropo’wer development is disrupting the traditional migration routes of the reindeer hearding Sámi people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula. These are some of the illustrations created for a report by Katarina Inga, the Stockholm Environment Institute. –
