B I O G R A P H Y
Yannick Monget, author and futurist, specializes in issues relating to the environmental crisis. He is also the founder of the Symbiom group, created in 2008 with the aim of raising public awareness, decision-makers and industrialists about contemporary environmental issues and more recently of the eponymous Committee, alongside many international personalities committed to protecting the planet and promoting peace around the world. He lives in Metz, France.
STUDIES AND
SENSITIZATION
ENVIRONMENTAL
Passionate about the evolution of life and space, he began, after a science baccalaureate and a preparatory class, studies in Earth and Universe Sciences (DSTU) at the Henri-Poincaré University in Nancy. He then quickly turned to paleontology, to which he was initiated by Eric Buffetaut. It was by studying certain crises that marked the history of life on Earth that he became interested in the contemporary ecological crisis in the early 2000s. Noting striking similarities between current environmental disturbances and what the 'we know of past upheavals, he decided to turn fully towards awareness-raising to alert and inform about the seriousness of the situation.
In order to allow decision-makers and the general public alike to better understand the risks linked to the planetary crisis, he decided to use writing and digital image technologies as a vector of information. As a novelist, he also wrote several committed books such as Resilience in 2013. His prospective work was quickly noticed by several publishers, including the La Martinière group (publisher of photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand or even of former American vice-president Al Gore), with whom he signed several books in 2006, which were taken up abroad, such as in New York by Abrams Books. His works are regularly taken up by international media (National Geographic, GEO, Sciences et Vie…) and have been adapted since 2007 in several major exhibitions around the world (Paris, Geneva, Brussels, Vancouver, Munich…).
PROSPECTIVIST
AUTHOR AND
COMMITTED ARTIST
His latest book "HOPES" depicts more than a hundred future scenarios for our planet by bringing together dozens of personalities from around the world, Nobel Peace Prize winners, heads of state, astronauts, scientists, explorers, representatives of indigenous peoples delivering their vision of the future, their warnings and above all their messages of hope for the future of humanity and our planet.
SYMBIOM
It was with the support of his friend Jean-Marie Pelt, considered by many to be the father of urban ecology, that he decided to found the Symbiom group in Metz in 2008. If Symbiom's primary activity revolved around awareness of environmental issues, in particular through its structure dedicated to the Arts and Sciences, Symbiom is now also committed to the challenges of ethical governance, through its Committee, founded with many personalities internationally recognized for their commitments in environmental protection and promotion of peace. The group has also more recently committed to research and development projects around the notion of societal symbiosis, which rethinks the relationship between humans and their environment by developing tools and technologies in this direction.
