Grenelle Environment Phase 2: You have the floor



Borloo, No. 2 Government and Minister for Ecology, Development and Planning Sustainable yesterday presented the results of Phase 1 of the Grenelle Environment .

This first phase was devoted to dialogue and development proposals within 6 working groups, workshops and two intergroup. Each group was made up of NGOs (Greenpeace, WWF, Fondation Nicolas Hulot, the Friends of the Earth, LPO, etc. ...), and state representatives, employees, employers, representatives of local authorities and legal persons involved. A very democratic consultation in the spirit of the Grenelle Accords , traded in a crisis of May 68.



Here is a summary of the synthesis of each group. For more details, click on the links.

1. fight against climate change and controlling energy .
Group 1 recalls the undeniable reality of climate change and its impacts as well as the depletion of resources has come fossils. IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) estimates and between 1 and 6 ° C the average temperature rise associated ground this climate change by the end of the century. The objective is to enable future generations to have the resources they need for their development. The Task Force believes that in this context, France must now be put on the path of a division by four of its emissions of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which means to imagine a development model totally different from what we know until now.

2. Preserving biodiversity and natural resources .
If the crisis of biodiversity is less well known than the climate, the damages are no less serious or more reversible. Group 2 has adopted a benchmark of 119 measures for biodiversity and natural resources.

3. Establish an environment-friendly health .
impacts on human health of environmental degradation are some scientifically valid for other sufficiently documented to warrant action has reduce the risks to the latest finally suspects or unknown, but potentially serious enough to require sustained vigilance. On the basis of this Group 3 proposes actions to seek scientific convergence, better governance, and support for public decisions.

4. Adopt patterns of production and consumption: agriculture, fisheries, food processing, distribution, and sustainable uses of forests territories.
Of all time agriculture was the result of a strong interaction between man and his environment. Since the first human who, abandoning the collection, has chosen species food for thousands of years of learning, different soils and climates, cultures and various social organizations built the agriculture of today. More recently genetics, agronomy, chemistry, and mechanization accelerated this trend dramatically, and causes significant environmental consequences. It is essential to initiate a movement of profound transformation of the entire agriculture and revisit the foundations of conventional agriculture, to reconcile the imperatives of economic efficiency, robustness to change climate and ecological realism.

5. Building an ecological democracy: institutions and governance .
Redefining Environmental policy, placing the concerns of long-term and future generations in the heart of the project for our country, to invent a new mode of development based on the opportunities associated with changing patterns of production and consumption require appropriate and consistent policies in all areas: energy, transport, housing, agriculture, health ... This requires new frameworks for action and development for these policies.

6. Promote development patterns environmental conditions for the competitiveness and employment .
Building a new equilibrium in terms of virtuous economic, environmental, and social activities between production, consumption, research and development, innovation and service in France and Europe.

7. Intergroup Workshop GMOs.
Big debate on this subject. The best is to read synthesis.

8. Intergroup Workshop Waste . Whether
Waste produced by households, artisans, merchants, businesses, farmers or communities, and whether hazardous or non-hazardous waste management of our present major challenges both in terms of limiting resources has come raw materials and energy, as the environmental and health impact of this management must be reduced.

Phase 1 is completed and we now turn to phase 2 . You have the floor. For that, you have until October 12 to participate in the Forum Grenelle Environment

If the future of our planet you want, express yourself!

The Northwest Passage is open



As expected, the Arctic sea ice continues to melt at high speed. And for the first time, Northwest Passage is open: it is free of ice. It

is materialized in orange on the photo Envisat ASAR above. As I said about the collapse of the Ayles ice , this passage will allow the establishment of a massive sea transit between Europe and Asia, and disappearing wildlife who lives in the Arctic region, including polar bears .

The blue line on the image above is the Northeast Passage, which is still partially blocked in Siberia. But this is only a postponement.



Indeed, the area covered by ice in September 2007 only 3 million square kilometers. It is 1 million kilometers square less than the previous minima observed in 2005 and 2006.

Over the past ten years the average loss of Arctic sea ice was 100 000 square kilometers per year. A sharp drop of one million square kilometers in one year confirms the "avalanche process" and the sudden acceleration of the polar caps melt.

And this will obviously have major repercussions on the climate of our planet.
