Question 26878 — woods and forests

Summary

Ms. Martine Wonner alerts the Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition to the different scenarios of global warming by the end of the century as published on February 10, 2020 by the European Environment Agency (EEA). This work confirms that the frequency, duration and severity of weather events will increase by 2100. One of the projections made concerns the Paris Agreement scenario. with warming limited to less than 2°C. However, this limitation of 2°C is impossible to achieve given the low commitment of countries emitting greenhouse gases. The other, more realistic scenario is based on warming of more than 4°C. Whatever the scenario chosen, the agency invites countries to act urgently, by constructing structures and implementing appropriate regulations to limit the consequences of weather events. The European Environment Agency is warning in particular of the risk of submersion of several French regions as well as the increase in frequency and intensity of forest fires which will further aggravate the drought conditions in many regions. These manifestations of global warming will have serious consequences not only on ecosystems but ultimately on the economy and the health of citizens. The risks linked to climate change require action today, beyond the simple reduction of greenhouse gas emissions because we must ensure that future generations can adapt to the impacts of this climate change. Faced with the specific circumstances of the different regions of the country, field actors such as ONF agents, thanks to their knowledge of field, will be an essential resource in order to adapt prevention measures. She asks him if the Government takes the full measure of the elements presented by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and if it intends to act accordingly, in particular by consolidating the missions and resources of the ONF.
