Following the dissolution of the Assemblée Nationale by Emmanuel Macron, environmental activists in France are concerned about the rise of the far-right party and its impact on climate policies. With uncertainties in the political landscape, initiatives for climate change adaptation and renewable energy development have been put on hold.
The delay in unveiling crucial environmental strategies like the national low-carbon plan and the energy plan raises concerns among experts. The potential success of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) poses a threat to climate change action, as the party’s proposals undermine existing green policies.
