English term or phrase: vision
Bonjour tout l'monde

En ce moment je traduis un truc passionnant sur la prévention de la pollution et l'écologie des Grands Lacs (ceux d'Amérique du Nord: si vous savez les nommer sans faire de recherche, vous avez gagné un point, les résidents des États-Unis et du Canada n'ont pas le droit de participer).

Mais revenons à nos moutons. Je trouve donc la phrase suivante: "A roundtable discussion was held on a new vision for St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes governance."

En gros: on a tenu une table ronde sur.... ce que l'on souhaiterait faire pour l'avenir des Grands Lacs et du Saint-Laurent. (C'est pas vraiment une traduction, je sais.)

Encore ce mot anglais "vision" qu'on voit partout et qui me laisse toujours rêveur. Parfois je vois "vision" en français, mais je soupçonne un abus (ou un anglicisme!?) Le Grand Robert ne donne aucune définition de "vision" qui représente pour moi la notion en cause. Dans certains contextes on peut parler de "perspectives d'avenir" ou d'"ambitions", peut-être, mais pas ici. Je reste toujours sur ma faim.

Alors je vous soumets la question: que me proposez-vous comme équivalent de ce "vision", et comment le justifieriez-vous si un client grincheux venait à exprimer un quelconque désaccord?

J'attends vos réponses.
