Editorial: Le Monde

• The summer of 2024 was the hottest ever recorded followed by a series of high temperature records.
• This rise in temperature invariably brings with it climate disasters such as heatwaves, floods, hurricanes, fires, and droughts.
• Efforts are being made to remedy the damage to the Earth with initiatives in areas such as waste treatment, marine biodiversity and carbon neutrality.
• These experiences rely on the goodwill of pioneers and need a critical mass for effectiveness.
• Initiatives are based on local organizations and on the participation of the population to preserve their own living environment.
• The improvement of living conditions of the local population is fundamental for nature conservation.

Conclusion: Repairing the planet is urgent and possible through sustained, continuous, and substantial efforts and involving local communities in environmental preservation.
