For Think Tank Terra Nova, if Emmanuel Macron is the president who has done the most for the environment, there is a systemic change and political portage.

Avoid “caricatural speeches affirming on one side that” everything was done “and deploring the other” a five-year for nothing “”, such was the stake for Marine Braud, the author of the “ecological balance sheet of the QuinQennate “, presented Wednesday, December 22 by Think Tank Terra Nova.
No general satisfaction, therefore, for the government, but the affirmation, often advanced by the President of the Republic himself or by the Minister of the ecological transition, that fifteennial is the one who has the highest for The environmental cause. However, explains the one that was for two years successively advisor to Elisabeth Borne, then Barbara Pompilili, at the Ministry of the Ecological Transition, where she was in charge of the monitoring of the Citizen Climate Convention, this is far from being sufficient. “It lacks a real portage, the means and a clear vision of society choices to be made in the light of the ecological transition to drive,” explains to the Marine Braud world, who left the ministry in July 2021 and works now as a consultant.
When reading this balance sheet of forty pages, quite complete and based on many studies and press articles, the reaction is more positive for its former employer. “The note is rather interesting, the rich assessment, and our former collaborator recognizes that many has been done, welcomes the cabinet of Barbara Pompilili. And when she says that we will have to do more, we can not that be okay. “It is also the minister, associated with Pascal Canfin, Member of Parliament (RENEW, Presidential Majority) and President of the Environment, Public Health and Food Security of the European Parliament, who is in charge of the balance sheet and the ecological program of the future Macron candidate.
“Analysis out of failures and progress”
For the consultant, who had also worked, in the past, with Mr. Canfin at the Global Fund for Nature (WWF), it was necessary to propose an “analysis of the failures and progress of this mandate and draw Lessons “to advance” structuring proposals “for the next five-year.
At the credit of President Macron, Think Tank advances several topics, little or no dealt with in previous terms of office: reduction of soil artificialisation, combating imported deforestation, promotion of the circular economy. “Many projects since years have been abandoned, such as Notre-Dame-des-Landes Airport [Loire-Atlantique], Europa City [north of Paris] or the Guest Mountain [Guyana]”, Note Marine Braud. And also quote “unprecedented financing for the climate”, with some 30 billion euros, including the stimulus plan.
