Context

Repeated fires, longer waves of heat and intense, lack of water … Climate change shows once again, this summer, his disturbing face. At the same time, the High Council for the Climate, an independent body responsible for assessing France’s policy in this area, sounds the alarm.

Can it still straighten the bar?
