Question 15263 — foreign policy

Summary

Ms. Anna Pic questions the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature on the irreversible consequences of global warming and deforestation in the Amazon forest. Indeed, a study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), made public on Wednesday May 6, 2026, states that around two-thirds of the Amazon forest could transform into degraded forests or savannah-type ecosystems under the combined effect of extensive deforestation in the Amazon and climate change. In this context, France has a major role to play in the preservation of this essential ecosystem, often described as the "green lung of the world", on the one hand due to the presence of Guyanese territory within the Amazon region, on the other hand through its action international diplomatic and environmental issues. It therefore appears urgent to strengthen collaboration with the Brazilian Government as well as with the other States that cover the Amazon (Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana and Suriname) and their local professional organizations in order to support common objectives of preservation and support in a transition towards more sustainable production models. According to the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF), more than 43 million hectares of Amazonian forest have already disappeared between 2004 and 2017, an area equivalent to two-thirds of French territory. Today, around 17 to 18% of the Amazon forest has already been destroyed, bringing this ecosystem closer to a critical threshold of destabilization, or even of no return. In these circumstances, the recent actions carried out by the Government current Brazilian elections have allowed the country to reduce deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon by around 50% since 2022. However, with the next Brazilian general elections taking place in October 2026, it is important to consolidate this dynamic. Thus, she wishes to know the Government's intentions, both diplomatically and environmentally and economically, in order to contribute to the sustainable preservation of the forest. Amazonian.
