The Chair in Transformation of the Economic Model at the Universitat Jaume I organised the presentation of the book "El otoño de la civilización" by Juan Bordera and Antonio Turiel on Thursday 26 May. It took place at the Menador Cultural Space. The event, presented by David Valiente, a member of the Chair, was attended by one of the authors, Bordera, a screenwriter and journalist, who presented two overlapping crises in the current situation: climate crisis and energy crisis. The diagnosis of the book is clear: it is not possible to grow infinitely on a finite planet. According to Bordera, "both crises are equally serious and are very interrelated".

For the co-author of the book, who believes that "we need to talk fearless about degrowth", the indicators of the planet's limits are clear: "In Antarctica, although we will stop emissions today, the temperature would continue to rise for decades, and so we are going to a stage where life is in danger”. According to Bordera, "all energy is experiencing limitations, and renewables have many limitations, because for many things they also depend on fossil fuels".

The journalist admits that there has been "a small revolution in renewables, because in 2009 solar and wind were the most expensive to produce, and today they are the cheapest, and that's wonderful". However, "the dark side is that this has been achieved because globalization works, but depending on when less energy is available, globalization will also diminish". The danger, for Bordera, depends on "who drives" the energy transition, because it must be planned quite accurately and today there are large corporations that invest in renewables for their profitability. The way out is, in his view, "to organize from the street: to put an end to this established order requires a little chaos".

Promoted by the Universitat Jaume I and the Department of Finance and Economic Model of the Generalitat Valenciana, the objective of the Chair is to foster knowledge and dissemination of topics related to the transformation of the current economic model of the Valencian Community towards a more competitive one, based in innovation, knowledge, openness to the outside and sustainable from an environmental, productive and social point of view.
