La ONG de lucha contra la pobreza calcula que una persona del segmento más rico del planeta emite más Co2 en un solo día que una persona que forma parte del 50% de los más pobres en todo un año. Oxfam insta a los gobiernos a aplicar tasas a los multimillonarios para financiar la lucha contra el calentamiento global que alcanzará +1.5°C próximamente. “Los ricos causan el problema, los pobres pagan el precio más alto de la crisis climática”, alertaba el secretario de Naciones Unidas, Antonio Guterres, el año pasado en la cumbre climática de la ONU COP29. Un nuevo informe de la ONG de lucha contra la pobreza, Oxfam, confirma esta realidad con cifras. Desde 2015, por ejemplo, el 1% más rico de la población mundial consume la mayor parte de nuestro presupuesto de CO2, es decir, la cantidad de carbono que podemos emitir sin agravar la crisis climática. Los autores del nuevo informe de Oxfam, publicado a un poco más de una semana del inicio de la cumbre climática COP30 de Naciones Unidas, denuncian un “saqueo climático” de los más ricos, quienes a través de sus hábitos de consumo y sus inversiones, son responsables de la mayor parte de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, principal causa del calentamiento global. “Hablamos de saqueo porque, los multimillonarios están sacando ventajas y beneficios económicos, mientras que las poblaciones más vulnerables enfrentan los impactos más devastadores de esta crisis climática”, declaró Carlos Aguilar, encargado de Justicia Climática de Oxfam Latinoamérica. “Desde 1990, el 0,1% más rico ha aumentado la cuota de emisiones totales en un 32%, en comparación con la mitad más pobre de la humanidad, que ha reducido más bien su cuota en un 3%. La participación de los multimillonarios y de una élite está cada vez está teniendo un mayor impacto en la situación de la emergencia climática que estamos viviendo”, agregó Aguilar, entrevistado por RFI. La organización Oxfam apunta también a las carteras de inversiones de los más adinerados que dirigen sus fondos hacia las energías fósiles, principal fuente de emisiones de CO2. “Las emisiones de las carteras de inversión de los 308 supermillonarios superan las emisiones de 118 países juntos, principalmente de países del sur. Y estamos hablando que el 60% de las inversiones de estos supermillonarios están concentrados en sectores de alto impacto climático como la industria del petróleo, del gas o de los minerales”, detalla Carlos Aguilar. Los autores del informe formulan una serie de recomendaciones para reducir la brecha climática. Sugieren, por ejemplo aumentar la carga impositiva de los más ricos y de las grandes empresas. “Por ejemplo, un impuesto del 60% sobre los ingresos totales del 1% más rico del mundo podría reducir emisiones de carbono equivalentes a las emisiones totales de toda Inglaterra”, indica Carlos Aguilar. En el marco de las negociaciones internacionales para buscar nuevas fuentes de financiamiento contra la crisis climática ocho países, entre los cuales Francia, Kenia y España, proponen, por ejemplo, un impuesto especial sobre los viajes aéreos de lujo: una tasa global que permitiría recaudar 187.000 millones de dólares para los países pobres y vulnerables al cambio climático. Oxfam llama además a prohibir la presencia de las grandes corporaciones en los espacios de negociación climática.

In this episode of Style DNA I go on a thrifting style journey with the British stylist, editor, author and long-standing champion of second-hand fashion the brilliant Bay Garnett. Often called the “Queen of Thrift”, she is known for her eclectic, vintage-infused styling and her belief in the creativity and sustainability of re-wearing clothes… yes to that! She started her career working on Cheap Date magazine where she worked on the second hand fashion advertising pictures, changing the font from high designer names to thrift stores and charity shops ( Salvation Army replacing Yves Saint Laurent, Cancer Care Calvin Klein, and so on). Her witty irreverent spreads were spotted by the editor of British Vogue Alexandra Shulman who invited Bay to work on the magazine's first charity shop fashion shoot and become a contributing Fashion Editor. Bay approached her good friend and thrifting buddy Anita Pallenberg to help her pull some looks together for Jurgen Teller to shoot Kate Moss in…the iconic shoot is often referenced by designers and creatives to this day. She went on to use vintage in all fashion shoots moving forward over 25 years. Working with photographers from Bruce Weber, Jurgen Teller, Tom Craig, Glen Luchford and Craig McDean. In 2016 she became an Independent Fashion Advisor at Oxfam and styled their first runway show, Fashion Fighting Poverty. In 2019 she Co- founded Second Hand September with Oxfam… the first campaign starred Stella Tennant and her daughter Iris, and then following year, Michaela Cole, then Sienna Miller and a new face each year. She is a true champion of second hand style … she tells me that a shocking 13 million pieces of clothing goes into British landfill A WEEK…food for thought… She shares her thrifting tips with me…it can be pretty intimidating to go thrifting if you have never given it a go. She is also the author of Style and Substance: Why What We Wear Matters (2022), a collection of essays exploring the deeper meaning of fashion and clothing. It is a beautiful and thought provoking book which I have enjoyed dipping in and out of. SOPH CAN WE LINK TO AMAZON? She is now working with Smartworks …the most amazing charity to help women prepare for interviews by assisting them with what they will be wearing (they have stylists on hand to guide them through the process), as well as helping them with interview techniques and then gives them several outfits once they have the job to set them on their way. Bay has been invited by Bicester Village to create her ultimate charity shop (open now for the next month). She has sourced everything and all the money goes to Smartworks…bravo! If you are nearby over the next month do pop in and check it out…you may even get the chance to meet her. We talk about age being a consideration as to how we dress…and some style hacks for remaining cool as the years tick by…funnily enough she is also a fan of a good belt! I hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you @baygarnettt for being such a great guest xx

Nella tregua che ci raccontano come fragile promessa di pace, la fame continua a essere l'arma più disciplinata. Tra il 10 e il 21 ottobre, Israele ha negato l'ingresso a 17 organizzazioni umanitarie internazionali che da anni lavorano nella Striscia. Lo denuncia Oxfam insieme ad altre quaranta ong, indicando con precisione le forniture bloccate: acqua potabile, cibo, tende, medicinali. Cinquanta milioni di dollari di aiuti fermi ai valichi, imballati, congelati dall'arbitrio di un controllo che ha smesso di fingere neutralità. Il 94% dei rifiuti ha colpito ong internazionali, persino quelle registrate e autorizzate dalle stesse autorità israeliane. In tre quarti dei casi la motivazione è stata la più burocratica e violenta: “non autorizzate”. Anche quando lo erano. Novantanove richieste di accesso respinte in undici giorni, più sei presentate dalle agenzie ONU. La fame diventa un modulo respinto, un timbro negato, un registro che non viene controfirmato. La tregua, invece, diventa un recinto in cui il tempo si usa per fiaccare i corpi. Secondo Oxfam, il blocco sistematico degli aiuti è una scelta politica. È iniziato già a marzo, con l'assedio totale e la nuova procedura di registrazione imposta alle ong internazionali. Non un eccesso securitario: un disegno. Chi controlla il pane controlla il respiro. Chi decide quanta acqua entra decide chi può sopravvivere. Persino raccontare questa fame diventa sospetto: stamattina, un portavoce militare israeliano ha definito la maggior parte dei giornalisti della Striscia “terroristi”. Fame e silenzio: il genocidio a bassa intensità travestito da tregua ha bisogno di entrambi. Per questo tutti gli occhi devono restare su Gaza. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Reintroducing a wealth tax has become a particularly divisive issue in France's ongoing budget battle. In a world where the richest 1 percent hold more wealth than the bottom 95 percent combined, Susana Ruiz, Tax Policy Lead at Oxfam International, tells FRANCE 24 that taxing the rich is “a new common sense.” Also in this segment, Elon Musk's Starlink has come under scrutiny amid allegations it is helping to power online scam centres in Southeast Asia.
Dans cette 73ème édition de votre podcast en français sur la justice fiscale et la justice sociale en Afrique et dans le monde, proposé par Tax Justice Network, nous échangeons avec deux experts africains, qui abordent tous deux la question de la fiscalité comme le super-pouvoir contre le néocolonialisme qui se dessine et se confirme dans le cadre des objectifs actuels de transition énergétique. Alors que le Sud global, y compris l'Afrique, possède 70 % des minerais nécessaires à la transition, le continent est marginalisé dans les financements disponibles pour gérer les conséquences des changements climatiques et doit s'endetter pour y parvenir. Aussi, la justice fiscale n'est plus simplement un objectif d'équilibre dans les sociétés modernes, elle devient le principal instrument pour mobiliser les ressources nécessaires au financement des objectifs de développement durable et d'une transition énergétique équitable et plus juste.

El financiamiento climático es insuficiente y agrava la deuda de los países en desarrollo, alertan dos ong de lucha contra la pobreza en un informe. Según sus cálculos las ayudas para financiar la transición energética y la adaptación al cambio climático se componen principalmente de préstamos que generan intereses para las naciones ricas acreedoras y empobrecen a los países deudores. En un nuevo informe, dos ong de lucha contra la pobreza denuncian la hipocresía de las ayudas financieras de los países ricos para la transición energética y la adaptación al cambio climático en los países en desarrollo. Tras una revisión de estas ayudas, Oxfam y Care consideran que este financiamiento es insuficiente y que lamenta el hecho de que se compone no sólo de subvenciones sino principalmente de préstamos a tasas de intereses estándares que agravan el endeudamiento. “Los países que reciben estos fondos los reciben mayormente en forma de préstamos y finalmente por cada 5 dólares que reciben, pagan aproximadamente 7 dólares. Esto se debe en parte a que el 65% de la financiación actual se entrega por parte de los países ricos a los países en vías de desarrollo en forma de préstamos”, observa Carlos Aguilar, responsable de justicia climática en Oxfam Latinoamérica. “Esta forma de funcionamiento está transformando la crisis climática en un negocio y no en una obligación de los países para efectivamente cumplir con responsabilidad a los compromisos establecidos desde el Acuerdo de Paris”, lamenta Aguilar, entrevistado por RFI. A cinco semanas de la conferencia climática Cop30 de Brasil, Oxfam formula recomendaciones para un mecanismo de financiamiento climático que sea más equitativo. La organización pide por ejemplo privilegiar ayudas “más favorables para los países en desarrollo”, como subvenciones o préstamos concesionales, es decir que ofrecen condiciones más interesantes que los préstamos de mercado. Oxfam y Care preconizan también aumentar la proporción de ayudas destinadas a la adaptación al cambio climático (infraestructuras contra los huracanes, contra el aumento del nivel del mar, la escasez hídrica etc.). “La financiación para la adaptación está infra financiada, ya que solo recibe el 33 % de la financiación climática”, indican los autores del informe. En la Cop29 de Baku, los países desarrollados se comprometieron a movilizar 300.000 millones de dólares anuales de aquí a 2035 y a movilizar a largo plazgo 1,3 billones de dólares de ayuda financiera para la acción climática, incluyendo otras fuentes de financiamiento como del sector privado. Para alcanzar este monto, las ong urgen a la comunidad internacional a buscar nuevas fuentes de financiación. “Los multimillonarios deben pagar por el impacto que sus inversiones y que sus actividades económicas están generando en la crisis climática global. Hay beneficios excesivos de las empresas de combustibles fósiles a nivel mundial que no están suficientemente tasados”, estima Carlos Aguilar. Buscar nuevas fuentes de financiamiento climático será precisamente uno de los puntos a negociar en la Cop30 de Belem, prevista en noviembre de este año, con el objetivo de cuadruplicar el monto actual de la ayuda a los países en desarrollo.

When we think about flashpoints between India and Pakistan, most people picture borders, bombs, or Kashmir. But the most strategic weapon in South Asia today may not be nuclear—it's water.The Indus Water Treaty has been called one of the world's most successful peace agreements, surviving wars, nuclear standoffs, and decades of political hostility. But in April this year, India suspended the treaty after a terrorist attack in Kashmir, effectively threatening to choke off the lifeline of Pakistan's agriculture and economy. For the first time in 65 years, the Indus—an ancient river system that sustains over 250 million people—has been turned into a tool of coercion.This is more than a regional spat. It's a live experiment in how climate stress, nationalism, and security fears can dismantle one of the last bastions of cooperation between nuclear rivals. And if water becomes a weapon here, what does it mean for other fragile river basins—the Nile, the Mekong, the Jordan—where upstream states already hold the cards?Today, I'm joined by Professor Ashok Swain, UNESCO Chair on International Water Cooperation and Head of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University. He has authored and edited 20 books and more than 150 journal articles, and he is also the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed journal Environment and Security, published by Sage. He has also served as a consultant on environmental and development issues, advising various international organisations, including UN agencies, OCSE, NATO, EU, IISS, the Arab League and Oxfam, as well as the governments of Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Singapore. Few people understand more about how rivers can both unite and divide nations. His work spans transboundary water politics, climate security, and conflict dynamics, and he has been one of the most vocal critics of India's suspension of the Indus Water Treaty.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

In today's episode: Rethinking how we measure the harm caused by the arms industry The life long, and multigenerational, impact of starvation in Gaza What is the appropriate focus on prevention in general practice? The BMJ's international editor, Jocalyn Clark talks about a new series we've just published - examining the arms industry as a commercial determinant of health. Jocalyn also speaks to Mark Bellis, from Liverpool John Moores university about why he thinks it's time we take the impact of the arms industry on health seriously. The blockade on food reaching Gaza is in place again, risking more starvation. Elizabeth Mahase, clinical reporter for the BMJ, has been finding out about the acute, chronic, and generational impact on the palestinian population. She speaks to Jonathan Wells, professor of anthropology and paediatric nutrition at University College London, and Tessa Roseboom, professor of early development and health at the University of Amsterdam, Marie McGrath former head of the Emergency Nutrition Network, and Chris McIntosh, humanitarian response advisor for the charity, Oxfam. Finally, an analysis we published earlier this year made the case that "tsunami" of preventative care is destabilised the work of GPs. Helen Macdonald was at the Preventing Overdiagnosis conference and spoke to some of the authors - Minna Johansson, associate professor at University of Gothenberg, Stephen Martin, professor at UMass Chan Medical School, and Iona Heath, retired GP and former president of the RCGP. Reading list Arms industry as a commercial determinant of health Starvation is a lifelong sentence: Gaza's civilians must be protected in accordance with international humanitarian law Sacrificing patient care for prevention: distortion of the role of general practice
"Maintenant Vous Savez" c'est également deux autres podcasts qui décryptent la culture avec "Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture" et la santé avec "Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé". Quatre fois par semaine, nous vous proposons de découvrir les meilleurs épisodes. D'après le rapport sur l'inégalité hommes-femmes publié en 2022 par Oxfam, les femmes françaises gagnent toujours en moyenne 23% de moins que les hommes et sont payées 16,5% de moins à poste égal. Pourtant, dans de nombreux couples hétérosexuels, toutes les dépenses sont partagées à part égales. Autrefois symbole de la prise d'indépendance de la femme face à son conjoint, ce système est désormais remis en cause. Depuis quand les femmes sont-elles indépendantes financièrement ? Comment répartir les dépenses si le couple gagne la même chose ? Est-ce que l'équité serait la solution ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez".

Cabo Delgado is Mozambique's northernmost province, bordering Tanzania. Since 2017, it has been gripped by a violent insurgency, when Islamist militants began attacking villages, towns, and government forces. The region is also home to major natural gas deposits, in which the French energy giant Total has invested heavily. But after a wave of attacks in 2021, Total suspended operations. Foreign troops—including forces from Rwanda and the Southern African Development Community—have since helped the Mozambican government regain some territory. Still, sporadic attacks continue, and the humanitarian crisis remains acute. In recent weeks, there has been a sharp uptick in violence, displacing about 60,000 people. Joining me to discuss the ongoing crisis in Cabo Delgado, the role of mineral extraction in fueling the conflict, and what the Mozambican government and international community can do to curb the violence is Romao Xavier, Oxfam in Southern Africa's Country Representative for Mozambique. We begin by examining the latest surge in violence before taking a broader look at what drives this conflict—and what it might take to bring it under control.

Chris McIntosh, Humanitarian Response Adviser for Oxfam in Gaza, discusses the battle to get aid trucks into the enclave.
More than 100 organisations have signed a joint letter calling on Israel to stop the "weaponisation of aid" into Gaza, as "starvation deepens".Humanitarian groups, including Oxfam and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), say they are increasingly being told they are "not authorised" to deliver aid, unless they comply with the stricter Israeli regulations.Joining Andrea to discuss this with his unique insight is former Israeli Hostage Negotiator, Gershon Baskin.Image: Reuters

The humanitarian system and its principles are being destroyed. Over 1,000 people have been killed seeking aid in the past weeks in Gaza, caught between famine and bullets. With humanitarian actors systematically prevented from reaching people affected by crisis in many contexts, governments are turning to the private sector – security firms, consultants, and ex-military operatives.From Gaza to Sudan to Myanmar, this shift raises urgent questions. Is a privatised model of humanitarianism going to become dominant? What would it mean for humanitarian operations and principles? And how can it be proactively addressed?This episode examines what's driving governments to outsource aid, and what this means for trust, principles, and the future of humanitarian response. Joshua Craze shares insights from his recent investigation into the operations of for-profit US company Fogbow in South Sudan. We hear how these dynamics play out on the ground in the West Bank from Oxfam's Bushra Khalidi, and ODI Global's Dustin Barter unpacks the wider implications for the international aid system.GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalDustin Barter, Senior Research Fellow, ODI GlobalJoshua Craze, writer and researcher on South SudanBushra Khalidi, Policy Lead at Oxfam in the Occupied Palestinian TerritoriesRelated resourcesFogbow operations in South Sudan and beyond raise red flags for faltering aid system (The New Humanitarian)Beyond the reset: Five priorities for genuine humanitarian transformation (The New Humanitarian)What does the failure of humanitarianism in Gaza mean?

AFP, alongside BBC, AP, and Reuters, issued a statement noting that Gaza's journalists face dire hunger. • Doctors in Gaza, such as those at Nasser Hospital and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, are fainting from hunger while treating malnourished patients, with the UN reporting a massive spike in severe malnutrition cases in children under five. Images of skeletal Gazan children are going viral. • France's foreign ministry stated that the famine in Gaza is Israel's fault, joining the UK and Germany in demanding an immediate end to the “humanitarian catastrophe.” • Over 100 aid organizations, including MSF and Oxfam, reported that their staff, including doctors and aid workers, are “wasting away” due to starvation, with 900,000 children facing hunger. • Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain stalled. • Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called its bombing of an iconic Catholic church a “mistake.”Scott and Ted are best friends who pride themselves on finding common ground despite the fact that they're on opposite sides of the political divide.

More than 100 international aid organisations and human rights groups are warning of mass starvation in Gaza and pressing for governments to take action. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Save the Children and Oxfam are among the signatories of a joint statement that says their colleagues and the people they serve are "wasting away". Israel, which controls the entry of all supplies into the territory, rejected the organisations' statement and accused them of "serving the propaganda of Hamas". Yolande Knell is the BBC's Middle East correspondent in Jerusalem and joined Kylie Pentelow for more on the situation there.Dame Imelda Staunton, of Vera Drake and Harry Potter fame, and her daughter Bessie Carter, of Bridgerton fame, are starring as mother and daughter in Mrs Warren's Profession by George Bernard Shaw, currently in the West End. The play explores the morals of earning money from prostitution. They join Kylie to talk about the relevance of the play today, and tell us what's it like acting on stage together for the first time in their careers. Yasmin Khan is an award-winning food and travel writer. Her fusion of recipes and reportage combines the cuisines of the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean and her new book, Sabzi: Fresh Vegetarian Recipes for Everyday, is her first meat-free cookbook. It was born out of overcoming the struggles of early motherhood and breastfeeding in particular. She tells Kylie about finding solace in the sustenance and soothing properties of the Iranian food she grew up on and adapting it for health and climate-conscious modern living.Cyber flashing is when a stranger sends an unsolicited explicit image or video. When musician Anna Downes was sent naked photos and videos by a man called Ben Gunnery last year, she reported it to the police, who took a statement but were very slow to take it any further. In May, he was found guilty of intentionally sending the images to cause alarm, distress and humiliation and earlier this week Gunnery was given a two-year community order, including 150 hours of unpaid work. If he re-offends he'll be sent to prison. Anna Downes joins Kylie along with Nicola Goodwin from BBC Midlands Investigations team.Producer: Corinna Jones Presenter: Kylie Pentelow
US Senator Mark Kelly has called on Israel to stop attacking Palestinians seeking food and aid in Gaza. “Israel must stop these attacks on people seeking aid,” he posted on X, stressing that children are starving. His appeal comes as medical sources report at least 85 Palestinians killed in fresh Israeli strikes. More than 100 aid groups, including MSF, Oxfam, and Save the Children, are sounding the alarm on “mass starvation” in Gaza. They say aid warehouses are full but blocked from reaching desperate families. The coalition is calling for an immediate ceasefire, opening of all land crossings, and free UN-led aid deliveries. Their warning coincides with a US envoy's European trip to discuss a potential truce and aid corridor. The Syrian government has deployed buses to evacuate families trapped in unrest-hit Sweida. State media showed convoys entering the southern province to transport civilians to safety. Violence has displaced thousands, with neighbouring Daraa province reporting a steady influx of fleeing families. The US has announced it will leave UNESCO for the third time, effective December 31, 2026. Washington cited the agency's admission of Palestine and what it called a “globalist, ideological agenda” at odds with its “America First” policy. A State Department spokesperson said continued membership is “not in the national interest.” The move marks another sharp break in US engagement with international institutions. Türkiye has showcased its first hypersonic missile, the Tayfun Block-4, at the IDEF 2025 defence fair in Istanbul. Roketsan, the developer, also unveiled six other advanced systems at the event. The Tayfun Block-4, weighing over seven tonnes, can destroy high-value targets like air defence systems and command centres from long distances. Officials say the missile marks a major leap for Türkiye's defence industry and long-range strike capabilities.
We look at global container shipping volumes to assess how tariffs are reshaping trade flows. Two former U.S. Fed chairs, Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen, issue a rare warning about political pressure on the central bank — could it damage America's economic credibility?

And in the UK, we visit an Oxfam bookshop in Hove where a donation from Nick Cave is turning rare books into hot sellers.

C dans l'air du 26 juin 2025 - Orages, canicule: un été à risque?Arbres arrachés, routes inondées, toitures abimées ou envolées, pylônes tordus par la violence des rafales… Le réveil est brutal ce jeudi matin dans de nombreuses communes du pays, balayées dans la nuit par des orages d'une rare intensité.Le bilan est lourd : deux morts — un adolescent de 12 ans, tué par la chute d'un arbre à Picquebos, près de Montauban, et un homme de 59 ans, conducteur de quad, en Mayenne —, dix-sept blessés, 100 000 foyers privés d'électricité. Les dégâts matériels sont innombrables.Pourtant, l'événement avait été anticipé. Météo-France avait placé une cinquantaine de départements en vigilance orange, mercredi, pour orages ou canicule. Mais l'alerte n'a pas suffi à prévenir les drames. Et une fois les vents tombés, une autre tempête s'annonce : celle des démarches, des déclarations de sinistres, des indemnisations, et pour certains, de la répétition infernale des catastrophes.Inondations, sécheresses, canicules, gels tardifs… Les épisodes climatiques extrêmes se succèdent à un rythme alarmant. La France, qui se réchauffe plus vite que la moyenne mondiale — +1,7 °C depuis 1900 en métropole —, n'est plus un simple témoin du changement climatique, mais en subit déjà de plein fouet les conséquences.Face à cette réalité, plusieurs ONG (Greenpeace, Notre Affaire à Tous, Oxfam) et onze citoyens sinistrés ont décidé de passer à l'action. Ils ont annoncé un recours devant le Conseil d'État pour contraindre l'État à renforcer son Plan national d'adaptation au changement climatique (PNACC-3), jugé largement insuffisant.Pas question de demander de l'argent : ils exigent des actes. Des mesures concrètes, ambitieuses, à la hauteur des enjeux, alors que les reculs environnementaux se multiplient depuis le début de l'année, en France comme ailleurs.Les plaignants dénoncent un État qui manque à ses obligations. Parmi eux : des agriculteurs aux champs noyés, des familles dont les maisons se fissurent, des habitants privés d'eau, des personnes vulnérables écrasées par les vagues de chaleur.Le gouvernement, lui, assure avoir anticipé les évolutions à venir, avec un PNACC-3 qui vise à préparer infrastructures, transports et agriculture à un monde plus chaud de 4 °C d'ici 2100. Mais pour les requérants, ce plan est trop tardif, trop timide, trop éloigné de l'urgence.LES EXPERTS :- François GEMENNE - Professeur à HEC, président du conseil scientifique - Fondation pour la nature et l'homme- Nicolas BERROD - Journaliste au service Futurs, santé-médecine et climat Le Parisien - Aujourd'hui en France- Olivier MOUSTACAKIS - Directeur général d'Assurland.com- CHLOÉ NABÉDIAN - Journaliste spécialiste des questions climatiques PRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40.PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/
