It has become an essential condition for our health, our security, our food and energy sovereignty, the habitability of our cities, our future freedoms, and our very survival. That is why it must be at the heart of the next presidential election.
The candidates for the 2027 presidential election will not only be able to explain how France will adapt to the coming climate. They will also have to say, with the necessary courage, how it intends to sufficiently reduce its carbon emissions to prevent our lives from becoming even more unbearable. It is up to us to ensure that 2027 marks the beginning of the expected political response and a new ecological ambition!
