Parce qu'il travaille avec les autorités publiques, les entreprises et les particuliers, il connait mieux que quiconque la situation luxembourgeoise et les solutions à mettre en place pour réduire l'ampleur du phénomène.
Daniel Gliedner: Reducing the extent of light pollution
Backed with thirty years of experience in the field, Daniel Glider now works as a lighting consultant for the Our Natural Park. Because he works with public authorities, companies and private individuals, he knows the situation in Luxembourg better than anybody, and the measures that need to be taken to limit this pollution.
A desire to star bath?
Considering the significant impacts of light pollution on human health, biodiversity and energy consumption, and in face of the simplicity of the solutions, one may wonder why human societies haven't addressed the issue yet. Part of the answer can be found in both biology and cultural misbeliefs about darkness - two obstacles that Samyukta Manikumar seeks to overcome in her dark night conservation consultancy work and ecotourism projects. Based in Slovenia, she raises awareness and creates astonishment towards the night sky in people's minds.
Un désir de bain d'étoiles ?
Difficile de comprendre pourquoi les sociétés humaines ne se sont pas encore penchées sur la question de la pollution lumineuse, compte tenu de ses impacts significatifs sur la santé humaine, la biodiversité et la consommation d'énergie, et face à la simplicité des solutions pour y remédier. Une partie de la réponse se trouve dns la biologie et les croyances culturelles erronées concernant l'obscurité - deux obstacles que Samyukta Manikumar cherche à surmonter dans son travail de consultante en conservation de la nuit noire et dans ses projets d'écotourisme.
De l'urgence d'éviter aux femmes la double peine
Si l’on devait élire le plus grand tabou persistant dans le monde, les menstruations auraient de fortes chances d’obtenir la première place. En 2022, 1 femme salariée sur 5 déclarait avoir déjà fait l’objet de moqueries ou de remarques désobligeantes au travail à cause de ses menstruations. Sachant que, en moyenne, les personnes menstruées ont leurs règles 39 ans au cours de leur vie, allons-nous rester silencieux face à cela ?
The urgent need to avoid double punishment for women
If we had to choose the world's greatest persistent taboo, menstruation would be very likely to take first place. In 2022, 1 in 5 employed women said they had already been teased or made fun of at work because of their period. Given that, on average, menstruating women menstruate 39 years in their lives, are we going to remain silent in the face of this?
Pourquoi le recyclage ne suffira pas
Le recyclage est largement perçu comme le remède de prédilection pour lutter contre la pollution de nos emballages. L'idée est séduisante car elle ne remet pas en question nos modes de consommation, mais insuffisante dans les faits.
Why recycling will not be enough
Recycling is widely seen as the ideal way to tackle the pollution of our packaging. In short, the idea is to put their production in a perfect loop, where materials are reused over and over again and no raw materials need to be extracted.
Entretien avec Esra Tat, directrice associée, Zero Waste Europe
Une Europe sans déchets, voilà le grand objectif auquel s'attèle l'association éponyme Zero Waste Europe. À force de lobbying et d'animation d'un réseau particulièrement actif sur ce sujet, le concept fait son chemin.
Interview with Esra Tat, Associate Director, Zero Waste Europe
A Europe without waste is the main objective for which the eponymous association Zero Waste Europe is working. Thanks to their lobbying and animation of a particularly active network, the concept is gaining ground.
Rien de neuf ?
Saviez-vous que 10% du bois coupé, 20% de l'aluminium extrait, 40% du plastique créé et 50% du verre produit servent principalement à fabriquer des emballages à usage unique ? Dans un monde aux ressources finies, l'économie du jetable basée sur le principe du produire-consommer-jeter montre de plus en plus ses limites.
Nothing new?
Did you know that 10% of the wood cut down, 20% of the aluminium extracted, 40% of the plastic created and 50% of the glass produced are mainly used to make single-use packaging? In a world of finite resources, the disposable economy based on the principle of produce-consume-throw-away is increasingly showing its limits.

Sens et bien-être, nouveau langage des recruteurs
Grande démission, appels à la bifurcation, quiet quitting... autant de manifestations d'un mécontentement croissant qui préoccupe les employeurs. C'est une tendance de fond : les ambitions des salariés changent et nombre d'entre eux n'hésitent pas à prendre le large si leur entreprise ne répond pas à leurs attentes.
Purpose and well-being, the new love language of employers
Big quit, calls to branch out, quiet quitting... these are all manifestations of a growing dissatisfaction that worries employers. It's a fundamental trend ; employee's ambitions are changing and many don't hesitate to leave if their company doesn't meet their expectations.
Entretien avec Nathalie Delebois : « Les candidats font la pluie et le beau temps ! »
Il y a du changement dans l'air au Luxembourg où les employeurs doivent revoir leur copie pour conserver les employés et attirer de nouvelles recrues. Est-ce la vague de la grande démission qui touche le pays ? Le Grand-Duché est-il particulièrement vulnérable dans ce contexte ?
Interview with Nathalie Delebois: "The candidates call the shots!"
Change is in the air in Luxembourg, where employers have to rethink their plans to retain employees and attract new recruits. Is it the "bit quit" wave hitting the country? Does this make the Grand Duchy particularly vulnerable?

Une ressource critique
Soumise à des pressions anthropiques inédites, cette ressource compte désormais parmi les limites planétaires dépassées avec à la clef des impacts majeurs sur les écosystèmes, notre santé, notre résilience alimentaire ou encore la paix dans le monde. Des solutions existent pourtant. Il y a une urgence à repenser notre relation à l'eau et à réécrire collectivement son histoire.
An Endangered Ressource
Santiago, Cape Town, Karachi, Los Angeles, Mombasa... All of these cities are preparing for "day zero", when not a single drop of water will come out of the tap. Subjected to unprecedented anthropic pressures, this resource is now amongst one of the planetary boundaries that have been crossed, which has major impacts on ecosystems, health, food resilience or peace in the world. Solutions do exist, however. There is an urgent need to rethink our relationship with water and to collectively rewrite its history.

State of Luxembourg's water supply
To enjoy clean water in Luxembourg, all you have to do is turn on the tap. You don't even have to think of where it comes from or disappears to in the drain. But is there enough water to meet the growing demand of the Grand Duchy? What about water quality? How is this subject trated in the country?
L'eau au Luxembourg : état des lieux
Pour bénéficier d'une eau potable au Luxembourg, il suffit d'ouvrir le robinet. Vous n'avez même pas à vous demander d'où elle vient et vers où elle s'écoute. Mais y'a-t-il assez d'eau pour réponde à la demande croissante du Grand-Duché ? Qu'en est-il de la qualité de l'eau ? Comment ce sujet est-il traité dans le pays ?
Les hormones féminines sur le lieu de travail
« Comment puis-je me concentrer et sourire pendant ma présentation alors que les crampes me rongent de l'intérieur ? », « Comment annoncer ma grossesse à mon employeur ? », « La vérité est que le confinement m’a permis de gérer les symptômes de ma ménopause en travaillant de la maison »... Ces pensées et d'autres sont présentes dans le quotidien des personnes sous influence des hormones féminines. Un sujet qui, s’il concerne pourtant la moitié de la population, est resté majoritairement tabou.
Female hormones in the workplace
"How can I focus and smile during my presentation when cramps are eating me up inside?", "How do I tell my employer I'm pregnant?", "The truth is that lockdown allowed me to manage my menopause symptoms while working from home"... These and other thoughts occur in people's daily lives under the influence of female hormones. A subject which, although it concerns half of the population, has remained largely taboo.
Boards, Get on Board!
Le silence qui entoure le monde clos et feutré des conseils d'administration est parfois brisé. À plusieurs reprises dernièrement, leurs décisions se sont trouvées exposées et questionnées dans la presse. L'objet de ces retentissements à la tonalité nouvelle ? Une interrogation sur leur capacité à intégrer les enjeux de développement durable et à tracer une trajectoire pour l'entreprise qu'ils ont la charge d'administrer. Comment alors les modes de gouvernance doivent-ils se réinventer pour accélérer le changement ?
Boards, Get on Board!
The silence that surrounds the closed and hushed world of boards of directors is sometimes broken. On several occasions recently, their decisions have been exposed and questioned in the press. What is the purpose of this new tone of attention? A questioning of their ability to integrate sustainable development issues and to chart a course for the company they are responsible for managing. How then should modes of governance be reinvented to accelerate change?

Une photographe chez les scientifiques
Histogrammes et courbes attestent régulièrement de la présence grandissante des gaz à effet de serre et autres polluants dans l'air. S’ils sont objectivés par la science, ils échappent cependant à notre perception. C’est précisément le défi relevé par l’artiste belge Laure Winants à travers le projet Albédo : donner à voir cet invisible si problématique.

Les bocages, une voie salvatrice au Burkina Faso
Aujourd’hui, certaines terres agricoles du Burkina Faso jusqu’alors desséchées et impropres à l’exploitation, reprennent vie. Leurs rendements sont à la hauteur, les paysans qui les exploitent retrouvent un mode de vie décent et la biodiversité qu’elles abritaient autrefois prospère de nouveau peu à peu... À l’origine de ces bienfaits conjugués : la mise en place de bocages dans le paysage sahélien. Décryptage.
Neurodiversité : la grande oubliée des entreprises
Trouble du déficit de l’attention, autisme, dyslexie, dyscalculie… La liste est longue des fonctionnements cognitifs inhabituels qui trouvent difficilement leur place dans le monde du travail. Encore largement méconnus, ils sont souvent l’objet d’une certaine stigmatisation. Or, on considère aujourd’hui qu’environ une personne sur cinq serait neurodivergente. Il est donc grand temps pour les entreprises de s’y intéresser.
Neurodiversity at work: under the corporate radar
ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia ... The list goes long of unusual cognitive functions that have difficulty finding their place in the world of work. Still largely unknown, they are often stigmatised. Today, it is estimated that around one person in five is neurodivergent. It is high time companies took an interest. A quick overview of neurodiversity.
La confusion des opinions
« Les Américains ont perdu tout sens de la réalité ». C’est le constat sans appel du politologue et professeur à Harvard Thomas E. Patterson, dans son livre au titre tout à fait interpelant How America Lost its Mind (Comment l’Amérique a perdu la tête). « La dégradation de la pensée, de l'information et du bon sens érode les institutions et les traditions gouvernementales qu'il a fallu plus de deux siècles et dix générations d'Américains pour mettre en place. » observe-t-il. Cette situation n’est malheureusement pas l’apanage des Etats-Unis, mais est bien perceptible dans toutes nos sociétés. Notre rapport à la vérité et à la raison se trouve profondément bouleversé, et ceci constitue certainement le plus grand coup porté à nos démocraties. Sera-t-il létal ?
Confusion of opinions
"Americans have lost all sense of reality". This is the stark conclusion reached by political scientist and Harvard professor Thomas E. Patterson in his book "How America Lost its Mind". "The corruption of thought, information, and common sense is eroding governing institutions and traditions that took more than two centuries and ten generations of Americans to build" he observes. Unfortunately, this situation is not unique to the United States, but can be seen in all our societies. Our relationship with truth and rationality has been profoundly disrupted, and this is certainly the greatest blow to our democracies. Will it be lethal?
Semer le doute pour freiner l'action environnementale
Le dernier rapport du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC) pose un constat alarmant : la désinformation climatique constitue un obstacle majeur à des décisions efficaces en la matière. Ce phénomène complexe et étendu transcende les frontières nationales, sapant les efforts de coopération entre pays. La bataille contre le changement climatique est ainsi entravée par des forces insidieuses : la désinformation scientifique orchestrée par des intérêts économiques et politiques, et son corollaire, la montée inquiétante de la polarisation des opinions.
Sowing doubt to slow down environmental action
The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) makes the alarming observation that climate misinformation constitutes a major obstacle to effective decision-making. A complex and vast phenomenon, that beyond national borders, undermining the cooperative efforts between countries to tackle global challenges. Thus, insidious forces are hindering the battle against climate change : the scientific disinformation orchestrated by economical and political interests and its corollary, the worrying rise in polarised opinion.
Glyphosate
Profit économique pour les uns, désastre écologique et humain pour les autres, le glyphosate illustre les dynamiques complexes et les rapports de force qui pèsent sur les diverses instances décisionnaires de notre vie publique. Intense lobbying et instrumentalisation de la science sont au cœur de cette saga marquée le 16 novembre 2023, par la décision de la Commission Européenne de prolonger l’utilisation de cet herbicide tant controversé. 
Glyphosate
Economic profit for some, ecological and human disaster for others, glyphosate illustrates the complex dynamics and power struggles that weigh on various decision-making bodies in our public life. Intense lobbying and the manipulation of science are at the heart of this saga, which was marked on 16 November 2023 with the European Commission's decision to extend the use of this controversial herbicide.                                                            
Demain il tombera...
En reprenant tous les codes d’une météo classique, une organisation australienne sensibilise aux impacts des microplastiques, invisibles à l’oeil nu et pourtant bien présents et dangereux. La campagne de la fondation Minderoo, nommée « The Plastic Forecast », alerte ainsi les passants à ce sujet de plus en plus préoccupant, à travers l’affichage urbain.
Tomorrow...
By using the codes of a classic weather forecast, an Australian organisation is raising awareness of the impact of microplastics, which are invisible to the naked eye yet very present and dangerous. The Minderoo Foundation's campaign, called "The Plastic Forecast", uses urban posters to alert passers-by to this increasingly worrying issue.
The bocages, a salvatory path in Burkina Faso
Today, certain agricultural lands in Burkina Faso, which had been dried out and unsuitable for exploitation, are coming back to life. Their yields have increased, the farmers who exploit them are finding a decent way of life and the biodiversity that they once sheltered is gradually prospering again... At the origin of these combined benefits: the establishment of bocages in the Sahelian landscape. Let’s zoom in.
Plus de vert dans nos assiettes
Peu de barista lèveront un sourcil de nos jours, si vous leur demandez du lait végétal dans votre café. Tout comme se désigner « flexitarien » ne requiert que peu d’explications auprès de votre entourage. Il semblerait que l’on assiste à un certain « boom végétal ». Comment cela s’explique-t-il ? Et comment cela se traduit-il concrètement dans nos habitudes alimentaires quotidiennes ? Est-ce le début d’un réel changement de paradigme dans notre système agro-alimentaire ?
More green in our plates
Nowadays not many baristas would be taken aback if you ask them for plant-based milk in your coffee instead of regular. Similarly, you don’t have to explain yourself to others when calling yourself a flexitarian. They know what it means. It seems that there is a “plant-based boom” happening right now. How can we explain it? How does it translate into our daily habits? Are we witnessing a true paradigm shift in our agri-food system?
Interview with René Mathieu
Named the best plant-based chef in the world, René Mathieu is head of the Michelin restaurant of Bourglinster Castle, in Luxembourg since 2005. The Belgian, who has previously worked at the Palais Grand-Ducal, keeps reinventing plant-based cuisine.

Les tortues marines, nos précieuses sentinelles
Symboles de pérennité, les tortues sillonnent les mers depuis la nuit des temps, elles comptent parmi les rares à avoir cohabité avec les dinosaures. Pourtant aujourd’hui, beaucoup d’entre elles font face à des défis de taille pour survivre dans un environnement à la fois terrestre et maritime qui se dégrade. Ces espèces « sentinelles » nous mettent en garde.
Sea turtles, our precious sentinels
Symbols of perennity, turtles have been crisscrossing the seas since the dawn of time. Did you know that they are one of the few species to have cohabited with dinosaurs? Yet, many of them are now facing major challenges to their survival in the ecosystems, both on land and at sea, that are deteriorating. These "sentinel" species are warning us.
Nouvelle frontière économique
Dans un monde où les ressources terrestres sont de plus en plus sollicitées et où les défis environnementaux sont devenus omniprésents, les océans et les ressources marines suscitent un intérêt croissant en tant que moteur potentiel de développement économique durable. C'est dans ce contexte que les concepts d’économie bleue responsable voir régénérative émergent pour réorienter notre relation avec les océans et exploiter leur potentiel de manière soutenable.
The new economic frontier
In a world where terrestrial resources are under increasing pressure and environmental challenges have become omnipresent, the oceans and marine resources are attracting growing interest as a potential driver of sustainable economic development. Against this backdrop, the concepts of a responsible and even regenerative blue economy are emerging to reorientate our relationship with the oceans and sustainably harness their potential.
Parlons justice bleue
Alors que près de 30 % de la population mondiale vit à moins de 100 kilomètres du littoral, la répercussion sociale de la gestion des ressources maritimes s’impose comme un enjeu majeur. Pourtant, en pleine accélération de l’économie bleue, les populations impactées par l’exploitation des océans n’ont que trop peu souvent leur mot à dire et peu de possibilités d’agir. Il est temps de parler de justice bleue.
Let's talk blue justice
30% of the world's population lives less than 100 kilometers from a coastline. The social repercussions of managing marine resources are thus significant stake to take into account. And yet, in the midst of an accelerating blue economy, people affected by the exploitation of the oceans have too often little say and few opportunities to take action. It's time to talk about blue justice.
La plus grande biosphère de la planète menacée
Selon le dernier rapport des Nations unies publié en février dernier, 97 % des poissons migrateurs sont au bord de l'extinction, constatant le réchauffement de l’océan, sa stratification, sa perte en oxygène ou acidification. Le constat s’impose amèrement : la plus vaste biosphère de notre planète, notre plus grand commun, est au bord de l’effondrement.
The planet's largest biosphere under threat
According to the latest United Nations report published last February, 97% of migratory fish are on the brink of extinction, pointing to ocean warming, stratification, oxygen loss and acidification. The conclusion is bitterly clear: our planet's largest biosphere, our greatest common, is on the verge of collapse.
10 innovations venues de la mer
Les nombreux trésors méconnus des profondeurs émergent doucement pour nous offrir des solutions technologiques à la fois durables et respectueuses de l'environnement et ses écosystèmes. Partez à la découverte de ces 10 innovations directement inspirées de la mer.
Look down
Le Deep Sea Mining (l’exploitation des profondeurs marines pour en extraire les minerais tels que le cobalt ou le manganèse) inquiète les scientifiques pour la destruction de la biodiversité et pour le climat, car des millions de tonnes de CO2 enfouis dans les abysses océanes pourraient être relâchés dans l’atmosphère. Des dizaines d’activistes du monde entier se mobilisent autour de cette cause, notamment grâce à la puissance des réseaux sociaux.
Philippines : les requins sous protection
Le requin, représentant redouté de la mégafaune marine, n’a pas bonne réputation. Pourtant, il existe un endroit aux Philippines où chercheurs et volontaires s’activent, malgré les craintes populaires séculaires, pour le protéger, et même réintroduire des individus dans les eaux de l’archipel… Une sauvegarde à contre-courant de celui qui est encore souvent décrit comme "le monstre des mers".
Culture surf : quand l'activisme fait des vagues
Protéger les océans du monde et les communautés côtières vulnérables. Voici un commandement qui guide la communauté des surfeurs engagés. Témoins de la détérioration à marche rapide d’un écosystème fragile, ils sont aujourd’hui de plus en plus nombreux à défendre leur terrain de glisse et prendre leur rôle d’ambassadeurs des océans très à coeur.

Philippines : sharks under protection
The shark, the dreaded representative of the marine megafauna, does not have a good reputation. Yet there is a place in the Philippines where researchers and volunteers are working hard, despite centuries-old widespread fears, to protect it and even to reintroduce individuals into the waters of the archipelago... A safeguard against the tide of the shark that is still often described as "the monster of the seas".
Surf culture: when activism makes some waves
Protect oceans around the globe and vulnerable coastal groups. A clear line to guide the committed surfers’ community. Witnessing the rapid decline of a fragile ecosystem, they are stepping up to defend their surfing grounds and take their role as ocean ambassadors deeply to heart.

Interview with Franck Jesus
"We see a pressing need to invest in our oceans. Economically speaking, it is a huge opportunity; environmentally speaking, it is a must"
The new economic frontier
In a world where terrestrial resources are under increasing pressure and environmental challenges have become omnipresent, the oceans and marine resources are attracting growing interest as a potential driver of sustainable economic development. Against this backdrop, the concepts of a responsible and even regenerative blue economy are emerging to reorientate our relationship with the oceans and sustainably harness their potential.
Let's talk blue justice
30% of the world's population lives less than 100 kilometers from a coastline. The social repercussions of managing marine resources are thus significant stake to take into account. And yet, in the midst of an accelerating blue economy, people affected by the exploitation of the oceans have too often little say and few opportunities to take action. It's time to talk about blue justice.
