What does sustainable work and research mean to you? (not only in the ecological context)

Sustainable work and research for me can be explained in two ways: Firstly, it is the ability to achieve my goals without interrupting chances for the younger generations to fully develop their potential. Hence, the need to convey a more serene, respectful and amicable environment for work and research purposes. Secondly and in a broader scope, sustainable work and research is one that strongly emphases respect to nature and cautioned our activities vis-à-vis damages to our planet earth.

 

In your opinion, what need to be done to make the world more peaceful?

I think greed is the main cause of wars in this world. From Cameroon, to Libya, Iraq and now Ukraine. These conflicts are all motivated by greedy and egocentric individuals without empathy. The only way to mitigate this is to carefully educate the young generations. I suggest some proper and well-articulated subjects or courses on ethics of good behaviour be included in school curricula right from elementary schools. We have to educate them on the importance of peace on wars, love on racism, honesty on favouritism, and kindness on hatred.

 

How do you plan to share the results of the forum in a lasting way?

I will share the results of this forum through organised sessions I plan to carry out in some secondary schools and universities in the coming months and on my social media handles.

 

Which animal would you consider the better human?

I will go for a chameleon because it is very difficult to predict the behaviours of most human beings.
