%X Le r¨¦chauffement climatique, la pauvret¨¦ ou la menace d¡¯une catastrophe nucl¨¦aire comptent parmi les d¨¦fis majeurs auxquels l¡¯humanit¨¦ se doit de faire face collectivement en ce d¨¦but de 21e si¨¨cle. Malgr¨¦ la gravit¨¦ et l¡¯urgence de la situation, les moyens dont nous disposons pour r¨¦soudre de tels probl¨¨mes demeurent limit¨¦s et incomplets. Il est d¨¨s lors non seulement essentiel mais aussi urgent de penser comment faire face ¨¤ de tels enjeux globaux. Les solutions passent par des m¨¦canismes de gouvernance globale et se doivent de r¨¦pondre aux exigences de solidarit¨¦, de d¨¦mocratie, de justice sociale et d¡¯efficacit¨¦ politique. Il s¡¯agit notamment d¡¯assurer ¨¤ chaque personne la possibilit¨¦ d¡¯influencer les conditions sociales qui fa onnent sa vie. Il est donc encore possible d¡¯agir sur le cours des choses, mais si aucune r¨¦ponse n¡¯est rapidement apport¨¦e ¨¤ ces d¨¦fis majeurs, le futur de l¡¯humanit¨¦ risque d¡¯¨ºtre compromis. Global warming, poverty and the threat of nuclear catastrophe are among the major challenges humanity has to face collectively in this early 21st century. In spite of the seriousness and the urgency of the situation, the means at our disposal to solve such problems remain limited and incomplete. It is therefore not only essential but also urgent to think about how to face these growing global challenges. It requires new mechanisms of global governance and taking steps toward solidarity, democracy, justice and policy effectiveness. Among these key issues is the need to ensure the possibility for each person to influence the social conditions that shape his or her life. Thus, there is still hope that the vital task of reframing global governance may be pursued with an increasing sense of urgency. If this does not happen, the very future of humanity is at risk.
