Carbon Tunnel Syndrome

“Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" describes the phenomenon whereby there is an overemphasis - or exclusive emphasis - on climate change, particularly carbon reduction, to the exclusion of other important sustainability issues, such as human rights, social sustainability, and equity considerations. This term conveys that the narrow focus on carbon-related aspects of sustainability may result in a "tunnel vision" effect, where other equally critical sustainability dimensions are overlooked or marginalised, potentially leading to unintended consequences or incomplete sustainability efforts.
While the focus on carbon reduction is undoubtedly critical in addressing climate change, the term "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" communicates that an excessive or exclusive emphasis on this aspect of sustainability may result in unintended consequences. One potential implication of "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" is that other important sustainability issues, such as social justice, human rights, labour rights, and equity considerations, may be overlooked or marginalised in sustainability efforts.

Mâle Alpha Carbone

Cadre quinquagénaire ultra-performant qui optimise sa vie comme son vélo en carbone : plus léger, plus rapide, plus efficace.
Il affiche sa supériorité par des photos de randos cyclistes hors de prix avec ses potes corporate, avant d’upgrader sa compagne vieillissante contre une version plus fraîche (souvent une subordonnée)
Tu as vu ce que Jean-Marc a posté ? Encore une sortie vélo de 150 km avec son groupe de cadres. Ah, et il a viré sa femme pour sa stagiaire. Classique Mâle Alpha Carbone.
