"How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 in a spirit of social justice?" This is the thorny question that will be answered by the 150 citizens gathered from Friday by the Citizen Convention on the climate. For the navigator François Gabart, very concerned with the environmental stakes, this unprecedented exercise, wanted by Emmanuel Macron in answer in particular to the crisis of the "yellow vests", is a way of not rejecting all the responsibilities on the inertia of the policies, and to educate everyone.
"We must act as a citizen, make efforts not to say that it is the fault of others, and take our responsibilities," he explains at the microphone of Matthieu Belliard, in the morning of Europe 1 "We do not have all the solutions yet, but we know where to go," he adds. "We must change our way of life if we want to get out of this crisis."

"We need whistleblowers like Greta Thunberg"
The browser welcomes citizen initiatives that call on politicians to accelerate decision-making in the fight against global warming. Just like the broad mobilization launched by the young Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. "We need whistleblowers like Greta, she does something remarkable, she launches a universal message, I'm a fan, I encourage her", says François Gabart enthusiastically.
"I find it terrible that we can criticize it," he laments. "The observation she makes is real, objective, it must follow and accompany this movement," concludes the record holder of the world tour sailing alone.
