Question 12220 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Nadia Ramassamy draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the application in the overseas territories of the law relating to the energy transition for green growth, adopted by Parliament on July 22, 2014. This law had, for the overseas territories, the following objective: achieving energy autonomy by 2030, and with an intermediate objective of 50%. of renewable energies by 2020. Recently appointed Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, on Tuesday September 11, 2018, on the proposal of Prime Minister Édouard Philippe by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, it is important that he knows that today, the overseas territories are victims, like the entire planet earth, of the effects of climate change. Hurricane Irma, water pollution by chlordecone or even the invasion of beaches by sargassum algae are reminders of this. At the same time, the overseas territories, which are home to 80% of French biodiversity, potentially embody a laboratory for ecological transition. As evidenced by the development in these territories of the circular economy, sustainable tourism, bioclimatic architecture, photovoltaic and thermal solar energy, biomass, geothermal energy and marine renewable energies. Tomorrow, Mr. Minister, it will be too late to act. This is why she asks what measures the Government intends to take to accelerate the application in the overseas territories of the law relating to the energy transition for green growth.
