Editorial: Le Monde

• France is experiencing one of the hottest summers in almost a century.
• Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly frequent and problematic for human health, agriculture, and biodiversity.
• Climate inaction has resulted in the failure to meet international commitments.
• The US administration, in particular, has adopted a climate skeptical attitude.
• France’s efforts in climate protection have receded.
• Part of public opinion, encouraged by populism, has adopted an attitude of denial and abandonment.

Conclusion: To overcome these trends, it's pivotal to drive a new discourse that prioritizes the benefits associated with the ecological transition and assesses the cost of climate inaction. When it comes to public policies, efforts must align with individual capacities and ensure complete social support to combat climate change.
