In just one century, technological and scientific progress has made unprecedented improvements in living conditions possible. Nonetheless, we are now realizing that these technical advances carried within them the seeds of many of today’s environmental and social problems. A new scientific approach is opening the way to a new pattern of development that takes inspiration from the organization of ecosystems, or the way living systems function, and attempts to integrate these ideas into human technology.

The exponential increase in the number of humans on the planet has resulted in the urgent need to find new strategies to deal with the housing issue. At a time when the future of the planet is a constant source of concern, it is worthwhile to re-examine how we design and build our homes and cities in order to meet the challenges of sustainable development. Constructing, using, maintaining and even destroying buildings incurs significant environmental costs, which is why some are working on concepts that run counter to conventional trends in architecture and are attempting to adapt new building projects to today’s realities.

An informal sector groups together a variety of business activities which do not conform to the standard model for developed countries, or which operate beyond official regulation. This type of work is a major influence on a global scale. Many people who lack formal education or adequate training manage to get by, engaged in various odd jobs on the fringes of our economic system. However, if they wish to escape the poverty trap, impoverished workers must adopt a more professional approach, organize themselves and assert their rights.

Revolutionizing the world is an ambitious project to say the least, and our dream will only become reality if we are willing to take things one step at a time. More and more people agree that we must act locally to create a global impact. However, in order to change people’s mentalities and habits, we need to head off the beaten track and look for ‘visionary ideas’. This is exactly what Harvey Locke (Banff, Alberta), Pierre Morency (Sherbrooke, Quebec) and Sidney Ribaux (Montreal, Quebec) are working towards on a daily basis.

Can rain be a bad thing? It can when there's too much - too much wind, too many storms, extended drought - these are all impacts we should expect from climate change, warn scientists.
We travel to the Asia Pacific region, where the worst impacts are expected to occur, to find out how communities are coping with the effects of climate change.
In Gujarat, India, fishermen are beset by storms and farmers have either too much, or too little rain. Yet the local government is doing its best to mitigate the impacts of climate change by moving to cleaner transport systems.
The regional capital Ahmedabad once one of India's dirtiest cities is now one of its cleanest.
In the South Pacific island of Kiribati they are literally on the frontline of climate change - the island is only 3 meters above sea level at its highest point. Melting ice and thermal expansion mean the island could be submerged in 50 to 100 years. We find out how the community is planning to confront this eventuality, by migrating to neighboring countries.
