"The draft Climate Law tabled by the government is far from equal to the ecological emergency," said members of the Citizen's Climate Convention, supported by associations, in a call for demonstrations launched on Monday on Facebook and the viveieloiclimat.fr website.

"On March 28, on the eve of the entry of the law into the National Assembly, we are mobilizing to demand an ambitious law and defend the measures proposed by the 150 members of the Citizen's Convention for the Climate", according to this appeal supported by 86 associations, including Alternatiba, Attac, Care, Citoyens pour le climat, the Confédération paysanne, Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace, the Human Rights League, Oxfam, Youth for climate ...

The proposals of the Citizens' Convention "considerably reduced"

They accuse the government of having "put aside or considerably reduced the proposals of the Citizen's Convention for the climate that this law was supposed to take up" and ask the deputies to "take their responsibilities".

“We did the job.

Now all citizens who believe in our measures must support us so that the climate law is truly up to the climate emergency.

Come as many as possible to the streets throughout France, ”says Agnès, one of the members of the Citizens' Convention, on Twitter.

A much criticized bill

The climate and resilience bill presented as one of the last flagship bills of the five-year term, will be examined in a special committee in the National Assembly from March 8, then in the hemicycle from March 29.

It includes a battery of measures on transport, housing, food and consumption.

The 150 citizens of the Convention, but also the High Council for the Climate (HCC) and associations criticized this law for its lack of ambition, while France is not on the right path to meet its commitments in the fight against global warming.
