Agir pour le climat
Entre éthique et profit
Valéry Laramée de Tannenberg

For over a quarter of a century, diplomats and experts from over 200 countries have been trying to slow climate change down. The 2015 Paris Agreement was the most visible achievement of that effort.

But now, considering the lack of progress and the urgency of climate issues, new players are taking action, and changing the power structure, in France, the USA, China and elsewhere. Aware of the economic repercussions of climate change, the worlds of business and finance, for instance, are getting involved; municipal structures (particularly the administrations of large cities and metropolises) are starting to implement concrete measures at their own level; philanthropic organizations are investing in the environment, as are NGOs and independent citizens’groups. Civil society as a whole is finally taking matters into its own hands.

All these initiatives are beginning to produce concrete results. Partially making up for governments’lack of action, as the twentieth-first century goes on, these players may well become the new masters of the climate. And, therefore, of the entire planet.

This short and incisive text describes the initiatives of the new players who are imposing themselves as key agents in the struggle against global warming: corporations, public and private investors, municipalities and NGOs. It brings a breath of hope for the future.
