Until January 1, the editorial staff of
20 Minutes looks
back on the highlights that marked 2022. Retro on the major elections or the beautiful discoveries of James-Webb, chronicle of an announced death (of Twitter and respect) but also nice quizzes to challenge yourself (and with a bit of positive news too), we sweep the news of the past year in style.
Floods, droughts, heat waves: the year 2022 illustrated the ravages of climate change as well as the immense efforts that still have to be made to hopefully keep it under control.
A series of extreme events illustrated the acceleration of the catastrophic impacts of global warming, from the Sahel to the Horn of Africa and on to Europe.
Yet this year has also brought a lot of positive news for the climate.
20 Minutes
has concocted a little quiz for you to (re)discover them.
The year 2022 was marked by extreme weather events.
It was the hottest ever measured in France with a record 33 days of heat wave in France and Météo-France considered that it was a "symptom of climate change".
The drought struck much earlier than usual and with unprecedented violence, resulting in spectacular forest fires like in Gironde.
Geopolitics also played a role because the war in Ukraine led to the massive use of coal.
However, this year has been an opportunity for awareness.
And on the environmental front, steps and good news have paved the way.
So, put your climate anxiety aside for a moment and dive into our quiz on the positive news for the environment in 2022.
