The Minister of Ecological Transition Barbara Pompili defended Monday a "practical ecology", "simple solutions" and "common sense", at the opening of the debates on the climate bill in the hemicycle of the Assembly.
In his eyes, this bill tackles "what is most ordinary, most basic but also most crucial: our lifestyles".
She praised a "practical ecology, which brings simple solutions in the daily life of the French".
The former head of EELV, criticized by environmental activists who judge that his text is not up to par, promotes an "ecology that puts common sense in our lives, which fights against everything that we see aberrant , idiot, in a system that can no longer continue as before ".
"This law is a real global cultural shift, which will make ecology a daily reality", continued Barbara Pompili.
By listing the content of the text, the minister hoped that the parliamentary debate would make it possible to go "further" in terms of thermal renovation of housing.
She also stressed that this bill did not summarize all government actions in ecological matters, insisting on the end of "large dated projects such as Notre Dame des Landes, Europa City, the Montagne d'Or or terminal 4 de Roissy ", or the 30 billion euros of the recovery plan to" decarbonize our economy ".
Inspired by the work of the Citizen's Climate Convention, the bill provides for a series of measures such as the ban on domestic flights in the event of alternatives by train of less than 2:30 or the ban on the rental of strainers. thermal in 2028, homes classified F and G.
But he is strongly criticized by ecologists, environmental associations and members of the Citizens' Convention, who marched Sunday for "a real climate law", criticizing the "lack of ambition" of the text and the "unraveling" of the proposals of the Convention.
