SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:
TWO WORDS, TWO MEASURES

Léo Dayan & Bernard Dupont

A model of fiscal strategy to clean up capital and free employment

After having reminded of the practical condition to implement sustainability, the eco links economy, this paper proposes a fiscal strategy model allowing the public authorities to guide the market towards sustainable technological trajectories with consistence, safety, social equity and economic efficiency and with the slightest cost in public resources. Replacing the social welfare cost paid by the employer by an eco-taxation based on polluting capital, the deformation of the production function, caused by a direct tax favourable to nonpolluting capital and to labour, enables the preventive environment protection and increases the volume of employment and the consumers’ purchasing power in sustainable products. The joint and combined determination of the social security contributions and of the eco-taxation rate on polluting capital maintains the balance of the welfare accounts and the global stability of price.

REPLACE THE SOCIAL CHARGES BY AN ECO-TAXATION BASED ON POLLUTING CAPITAL

The eco-tax on polluting capital balances the social accounts, encourages companies to innovate and to invest in eco-links,protects preventively nature and health.

HOW TO WIN SUSTAINABLE PURCHASING POWER ?

Enable consumers to increase their expenditure on  sustainable products whose supply could grow thanks to an extent that the State may decide  consensually and contractually: replace the payroll taxes by an eco-taxation based on polluting capital. The rate and the basis of tax assess of this eco-taxation should be determined so  that the financing needs of social protection should be covered.

THE FIRST NOMADIC WORLD UNIVERSITY FOR SUSTAINABILITY

The university does not deliver a diploma; it creates a mobile, flexible chain of actors, places, disciplines, professions and skills. Its resources, knowledge and expertise are put into downstream to upstream synergy for a local sustainable development project. It is defined and carried out within a scientific and ethical framework of local actors while using an intercultural, interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral and intergenerational approach.

Given that sustainable development will inevitably affect future generations, it is only natural that young people participate in this project. There are thus no “students”, nor “teachers” only co-participants who train and cooperate with each other via a mutual exchange of information and experiences, within a research-action framework, i.e. action from theoretical/ conceptual research. A number of results are hoped for: concrete outcomes for local development projects, thus improving a population’s status in the long run; contributions to an intercultural dialogue; and an increase in the world’s collective capital of conceptual, technical and practical knowledge.

THE NOMADIC WORLD FESTIVAL FOR YOUNG CREATION

The sustainable development concern the future of young generations.
The Nomadic World Festival for Young Creation, artistic twin of his scientific brother, the Nomadic World University, does not give any reward. It is designated for the youth, put together the arts and different worlds, connect, country after country, the colours of the world for the local imagination.
The biggest part of the South population is young and the youth is the biggest part and the most innovative one of the population in the North countries. Everywhere the youth must be able to express, imply and make proper to them the sustainability approaches : the link linking linked
The artistic expression is the privileged way of the creativity, communication, identification and affirmation of the youth. This festival gives opportunities for the young talents and for young creators known in the local environment, but without abilities to become known in the whole country or to act on globalisation, to meet each other, to discover different worlds, to show their talents, to confront the largest public, to exchange theirs experiences, to create the links and to let them exchange their know-how, their creations and their ways of being, speaking and doing. It let them to find a way out of their isolation which limits their blooming and their citizenship.

UNIVERSITY AND FESTIVAL in duet

Decline in duo the festival and the University would express, trough theirs modalities and theirs common practical aspects and with their own fields, the needs of sustainability to connect ethic and economy, fun and effort, creativity and daily ways, seduction and destiny, science and art, local and global, youth and more mature people, development and culture. These two events could help to express and to know the singularity of the world but as well the variety and plurality of local cultures into the global dynamics for integrating development.
To provide synergies and interactivities to proximities opens up the ways of thinking and reacting, the generations and places, to develop the local cultural creativity and local expertises signed in the same shared targets into the project area : the sustainable welfare of the local populations, the appreciation of local resources and cultures and the global sustainability.

These two events, each one made in its own language and in its purpose but in interaction, look for making desirable the imperative of sustainability and for helping globalization to become fruitfulness for all. And by their interactive practices between ethics and economy, art and science, global and local, they appreciate spirit and culture of the deserts as part of the collective world capital of knowledge. Nomadic peoples are the first global and local minds in the world.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN DESERT

SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL IN NIGER

Niamey, the capital of Niger, is a strong city by its ethnic mixtures, its paradoxes which mix the life of the box and the world of the city and by the manner in which people cope with little in little and to remain standing up with nothing.
Agadez, formerly targuie capital, legendary city of North for the travelers and the merchants since hundreds of years, show in the mountains of Aïr and the desert of Ténéré, where all seems motionless but where colors, the lights, times and the forms are repeated and changing. It is there where the kingdom of the nomads is: infinite sand dunes, mountainous citadels, magic sunrises and sunsets. Where it is so difficult to survive that those which resist humbly and collectively gain in nobility and freedom. There still the daily tasks consisting in making goat's milk cheese and walking all day long to supply themselves out of water and to find grass for the goats.
But there is also, here and there, the hidden oasis which abound of fruits, as in Timia where small rivers sprinkle the palm trees, the orchards of orange trees, pomegranates, peach trees and of date palms. There are the oasis of Ifeourane and its Tuareg festivals. There is Sikerat where, around wells and few means, secular stockbreeders try to become gardeners. They seek to ensure the autonomy of their subsistence and to offer a school to their children to take up the challenge of the cultural erosion which threatens them.

The sustainbility concept imposes limits on development, those required by the link's continuation. But this concept opens new trajectories where the creation of the link explores and communicates a share of feeling: the positive imaginary and the breath of life that arise through conscience and the implementation.
Sustainability is represented in the feminine, it adopts the face, the intuition and the history of femininity

Sustainable developpement, a holistic concept.
Léo Dayan
The sustainability concept opens a new field of scientific, aesthetic, cultural and ethical studies : the link, the linked and the linking. This requires re-evaluation of the dominant idea of task specialization and expert monopoly, the compartmentalization of knowledge and the prevalence of vertical organizational, methodological individualism, cultural imperialisms and economic insularisms. It invites to rebuild 'trans-disciplinarily' the concept of development to connect ethics, politics, culture, aesthetics and science while escaping a system whose productivist functional logic and "ethnocide" trajectory would otherwise remain unchanged. Industrial ecology and interdependent economy are then necessary to consider this renewal.

Culture, solidarity,

The globalization have been changing substantially the human relationship in the planet, presenting a new spectrum of possibilities, challenges and risks. In this way, the human development depends, more and more, upon the innovation capacity of answers that each collectivity may find in its own life place.
