Pieces of countryside. In September 2021, The world launched “Fragments of France”, an unprecedented portrait of the country through more than a hundred reports. One month before the presidential election, the editorial team is once again mobilizing with “Fragments de campagne”. Through a weekly live, reports and chats, we will address these subjects which seem to us both essential but also ignored in political debates. Public services, environment, old age… Every week and until the first round, scheduled for April 10, Lemonde.fr will hold a special day. On the menu today: energy, environmental and climate issues after a day devoted to youth, Wednesday 2 March.
Climate emergency: why are we looking elsewhere? Crushed between the Covid-19 epidemic and the war in Ukraine, these crucial questions have found no real echo in the public debate. An example: the latest IPCC report. Published on February 28, at the start of the Ukrainian conflict, it was sometimes not mentioned at all by certain candidates for the presidential election. How to remedy this phenomenon? What can citizens do? Should we systematically oppose “end of the world” and “end of the month”? What avenues should be explored to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050? We’ll be discussing it all day.
