France: LAffaire du Sicle: the story of a mass mobilization for climate

Marie Toussaint

Chapter 21 in Standing up for a Sustainable World, 2020, pp 186-193 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: France has pretended to be the leader of climate action throughout the world. Our country adopted pioneer legislation, organized the conference that produced the Paris Agreement, called the world to be 'green and great again'. However, our laws are leading us to a warming of 2.6°C and are not even respected. Within 36 hours, the petition 'L'Affaire du siècle' is already strong of more than one million signatures. In less than three weeks, this 1 million became more than 2 million.
