Climate and human dignity in Madagascar

In Madagascar, climate is no longer simply a natural phenomenon: it has become the mirror of a moral, political and spiritual disorder. Climate disruption, environmental poverty and institutional fragility reveal the fractures of the world, but also the quiet strength of a people on their feet. Based on observations and interviews conducted between 2018 and 2022 in southern Madagascar, this essay blends law, politics and philosophy to show that the ecological crisis goes beyond the environmental framework: it questions the very meaning of existence. Through writing that is both scientific and poetic, the author explores the links between climate and dignity, vulnerability and resistance, science and faith. Climat et dignité humaine à Madagascar is a meditation on the human condition in the face of ecological crisis, and a call to rethink justice, solidarity and faith in the future.
