Question 8246 — building and public works

Summary

Mr. Auguste Evrard draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Sea and Fisheries to the urgency of adapting housing and public infrastructure in Pas-de-Calais to the effects of climate change. Already heavily affected by successive episodes of flooding during the winter of 2023-2024, having affected more than 540,000 people and causing 262 million euros in public expenditure, the department is now faced with increasingly frequent episodes of heat; in June 2025, for example, it experienced high temperatures and a change to yellow alert for violent thunderstorms. These extreme events are part of a context of structural climate vulnerability. According to an international study published in February 2023 by the Australian firm Cross Dependency Initiative (XDI), the Hauts-de-France region ranks 121st in the world for territories most exposed to climate risks by 2050 and 1st nationally. This observation highlights the need for an accelerated transformation of infrastructure and buildings, which are currently insufficiently adapted to climate change. However, existing mechanisms, notably the Green Fund, struggle to meet the specific resilience needs in the most exposed territories, both in terms of housing rather than public infrastructure, due in particular to difficulties in local governance, mobilization of credits and project engineering. Consequently, he asks what concrete measures the Government intends to implement to strengthen the adaptation of infrastructure and housing in Hauts-de-France and more particularly in Pas-de-Calais, in order to respond to the growing challenge of a transition ecologically efficient and realistic.
