“It’s the awareness that climate change is not an abstract thing,” laments Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher

The Minister of Ecological Transition reacts, on France Inter, after the devastating floods which affected Spain.

“It’s the awareness that climate change is not an abstract thing,” regrets, Tuesday November 5, on France Inter Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk Prevention, after the devastating floods which left more than 200 dead in Spain last week .

The minister maintains that France is also prey to such climatic events. Agnès Pannier-Runacher thus recalls that she was elected deputy for Pas-de-Calais during the last legislative elections and therefore “lived up close to the repetition of floods“. She also assures that since she joined Michel Barnier's government a few weeks ago, she has already “made three trips to the floods and activated crisis units twice in major circumstances”.
