M. François Jolivet interroge M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation. Il souhaite le sensibiliser sur l'inquiétant niveau de sécheresse atteint dans son département, l'Indre. Aujourd'hui, l'Indre est à sec. Seul département classé rouge en France, les cours d'eau sont à leur niveau le plus bas, ceci un mois avant l'arrivée de l'été. Ce phénomène est désormais d'une gravité et d'une durée inédite. Dans l'Indre, seul département actuellement classé rouge en France, il convient de constater une situation qui ne cesse de se dégrader avec un déficit de plus de 35 % de pluviométrie sur l'ensemble du département. L'entrée en vigueur des mesures en restriction d'eau est effective depuis la fin du mois d'avril 2019 et correspond à une situation de crise sur le bassin versant de deux affluents de l'Indre. Cette sécheresse entraîne des répercussions importantes sur l'écosystème et le tissu économique et agricole local. Des sinistres sont répertoriés chez les particuliers : affaissements du sol et fissures dans les murs. La situation est inquiétante surtout pour l'ensemble du monde agricole indrien. Les céréaliers, les éleveurs, les viticulteurs en sont les plus grandes victimes. Cette sécheresse inédite entraîne de graves conséquences en matière de production de fourrage et de céréales. Cette situation conduit l'ensemble de la filière agricole, déjà fortement fragilisée, dans une situation inquiétante avec des pertes annoncées extrêmement conséquentes. Il lui demande quel dispositif il envisage de mettre en œuvre pour appuyer et accompagner les agriculteurs victimes de ce phénomène climatique qui ne cesse de se multiplier ces dernières années.

Mme Marie Tamarelle-Verhaeghe attire l'attention de Mme la ministre, auprès du ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, chargée des transports, sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans le transport aérien et la fiscalité avantageuse dont il bénéficie. Le 7 décembre 1944, juste après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, 52 pays signaient la Convention de Chicago qui indique que « le carburant, les huiles lubrifiantes [...] sont exempts des droits de douane, frais de visite ...[...] imposés par l'État ou les autorités locales ». La taxation du carburant des vols internationaux est donc interdite par cette convention, désormais signée dans sa neuvième et dernière version de 2006, par les 191 membres de l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI). Aujourd'hui, seul un accord entre l'ensemble de ces pays pourrait remettre en question la fiscalité avantageuse dont bénéficie le transport aérien. Le transport aérien représenterait environ 3 % des émissions globales à effet de serre, mais le GIEC estime que sa part serait en réalité deux à quatre fois plus importante. Et les prévisions de croissance du trafic mondial viennent corroborer ces chiffres. En octobre 2018, l'association du transport aérien international (IATA) prévoyait ainsi une multiplication par deux du trafic d'ici 2037. Cette augmentation du trafic aérien semble toutefois difficilement compatible avec les objectifs de réduction de gaz à effet de serre prévus dans les accords de Paris. C'est dans ce contexte que nous avons appris par voie de presse qu'une étude avait été commandée par la direction générale des transports de la Commission européenne en 2017 sur le secteur aérien au sein de l'Union européenne. Cette étude préconiserait d'introduire une taxe kérosène via un prélèvement de 33 centimes par litre de carburant. Cette taxe répercutée sur le prix du billet entraînerait mécaniquement une baisse de la demande et donc une réduction de 10 % des émissions de dioxyde de carbone. Pour être juste et efficace, cette mesure devrait être imposée à l'échelle européenne. Une taxation à l'échelle française aurait pour seule conséquence de pousser les compagnies à faire le plein à l'étranger. Alors que le Conseil des ministres des transports européens débute à Bruxelles le 6 juin 2019, elle souhaiterait connaître les mesures qu'elle envisage pour réduire l'empreinte carbone du transport aérien.

M. Claude de Ganay attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'éducation nationale et de la jeunesse sur la mise en œuvre opérationnelle du dispositif de « cantine à 1 euro ». Le lancement de cette campagne a été annoncé début du mois d'avril 2019 dans quelques communes et pour une généralisation à la rentrée de septembre, or de nombreuses questions restent encore sans réponse. Pour les communes qui seront concernées par cette réforme, il lui demande quand il compte annoncer la liste et quels sont les critères retenus pour déterminer les territoires éligibles. M. le ministre propose de verser deux euros par repas à chaque commune s'engageant dans cette opération. Sachant qu'un plateau de cantine coûte en moyenne 4,5 euros par élève et que le prix réel s'élève à près de 9 euros, comment les communes, qui ont déjà du mal à financer les différents services, pourront-elles proposer une cantine à un euro sans une aide de l'État conséquente ? Enfin, concrètement, il lui demande comment ce dispositif va s'agencer avec les mesures de tarification progressive et solidaire déjà existantes dans de nombreuses communes.

Mme Marie Tamarelle-Verhaeghe attire l'attention de M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur les conclusions du rapport de la Plateforme intergouvernementale sur la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques (IPBES) dévoilé le lundi 6 mai 2019. Placé sous l'égide de l'ONU et imaginé sur la forme du GIEC, l'IPBES a été créé en avril 2012 avec pour mission d'assister les gouvernements du monde entier sur les questions de biodiversité. Il regroupe à ce jour plus de 130 pays membres. Le rapport qu'il vient de dévoiler se définit comme le document le plus exhaustif réalisé à ce jour sur l'état de la biodiversité. Il est le fruit d'un travail de trois ans mené par 355 experts scientifiques issus de 50 pays. « La nature décline globalement à un rythme sans précédent dans l'histoire humaine » détaille la synthèse du rapport. L'IPBES avance le chiffre d'un million d'espèces menacées d'extinction sur un total de 8 millions. Un point de non-retour jamais atteint dans l'histoire de l'humanité. Depuis le sommet de la terre organisé à Rio de Janeiro en 1992, qui marque la prise de conscience internationale en matière d'environnement, les rapports alarmants émanant de la communauté scientifique se multiplient, sans pour autant déboucher sur des solutions pérennes. En 2010, les 168 pays signataires de la convention de la diversité biologique (CDB), l'une des trois conventions signées au sommet de la terre, adoptaient le « plan stratégique pour la diversité biologique 2011-2020 » reposant sur 20 objectifs dits « objectifs d'Aichi » afin de préserver la biodiversité. Les pays signataires, dont la France, se laissent alors 10 ans pour atteindre ces objectifs. Or le rapport de l'IPBES indique qu'à un an de l'échéance, seuls 4 des 20 objectifs d'Aichi sont en passe d'être atteints. Un constat qui illustre une nouvelle fois la difficulté à respecter les engagements internationaux en matière de biodiversité. Le lundi 6 mai 2019, après avoir reçu les experts de l'IPBES, le Président de la République annonçait une série de mesures visant à répondre aux enjeux soulevés par le rapport. Elle souhaiterait connaître les leviers qu'il envisage pour mettre en place une politique claire et durable permettant à la France de montrer l'exemple dans ce combat pour la préservation de la biodiversité.
