Question 45259 — outre-mer

France · National Assembly · 3 December 2022

Mme Karine Lebon attire l'attention de Mme la ministre de la transition écologique sur la nécessité de mettre en place un pôle d'emploi environnemental à La Réunion et dans les outre-mer en général. Les transformations infrastructurelles requises pour garantir une réelle transition écologique et énergétique sont immenses. C'est là le défi du siècle. Le dernier rapport du groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC) est pourtant presque passé inaperçu du fait d'évènements géopolitiques majeurs. Cependant le rapport rappelle l'urgence d'agir au plus vite au risque, dans le cas contraire, de voir près d'un milliard de personnes menacées par la montée des eaux. Le rapport n'évoque pas seulement la simple submersion, mais aussi les conséquences climatiques de la montée des eaux en général. La Réunion, ayant connu près de deux cyclones de grande envergure en à peine quelques semaines (Batsiraï, Emnati), est particulièrement concernée. Les outre-mer sont en première ligne du fait de leurs divers positionnements géographiques et doivent donc être armés afin de lutter contre le dérèglement climatique et ses conséquences. Le président sortant a lui-même reconnu que des investissements massifs doivent être effectués en ce sens et demande à ce que l'écologie devienne un critère possible de dérogation à la règle d'or budgétaire européenne. Cependant, les investissements ne doivent pas se concentrer uniquement sur l'Hexagone. La création d'un pôle public dédié à la transition écologique et énergétique au sein des divers outre-mer viendra pallier ce risque. Des emplois liés au traitement et à l'assainissement de l'eau (ressource de première nécessité amenée à devenir « l'or bleu ») et à l'exploitation des énergies renouvelables telles que l'énergie marine et la géothermie doivent être mis en place pour ne citer qu'une partie de l'immense chantier qui se tient devant tous. Mme la députée demande ainsi au Gouvernement de mettre en place un pôle d'emplois environnementaux à La Réunion et dans les outre-mer afin que les habitants puissent se former et être employés dans la lutte contre le dérèglement climatique et contre ses conséquences en partie désormais inévitables. Elle demande à ce que ces pôles soient organisés et mis en place avec la concertation d'experts, mais aussi des collectivités territoriales, plus à même de saisir les enjeux locaux les plus importants. Elle lui demande ses intentions à ce sujet.

Question 45217 — climat

France · National Assembly · 3 December 2022

M. Thibault Bazin appelle l'attention de Mme la ministre de la transition écologique sur le projet de décret fixant la nomenclature des surfaces artificialisées en application de la loi n° 2021-1104 du 22 août 2021 portant lutte contre le dérèglement climatique et renforcement de la résilience face à ses effets. Il semble en effet que les friches (correspondant aux surfaces dites « abandonnées ou en transition ») pourraient se trouver comptabilisées comme non artificialisées (puisque relevant par défaut de la 8ème catégorie), ce qui implique que toute transformation de ces espaces corresponde à un accroissement de l'artificialisation. Ce classement irait à l'encontre de la politique engagée, avec l'appui du fonds friches, pour accompagner leur recyclage et la transformation de foncier déjà artificialisé. De plus, les parcs et jardins résidentiels seraient également considérés comme artificialisés, dévalorisant des initiatives publiques et privées visant à privilégier les espaces verts en pleine terre attenants aux constructions résidentielles ou tertiaires, ainsi qu'à développer les opérations de renaturation en ville, en vue notamment de réduire les îlots de chaleur. Il vient donc demander si le Gouvernement a l'intention de consulter les professionnels avant de prendre ce décret dont l'impact sera considérable sur la construction neuve et la satisfaction des besoins en logements.
