n. 28 L’ “Affare del secolo” è la petizione lanciata in Francia per denunciare l’inazione del governo sul fronte dei suoi adempimenti climatici e sostenere la prima azione giudiziaria climatica del paese. In poco tempo, ha raccolto oltre due milioni di firmatari.
Just weeks after the widespread Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest) protests swept across France for the better part of December, a petition commonly known as the L’Affaire du Siècle—the Case of the Century—has garnered over 2 million supporters.
Brought by four nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)—Greenpeace, Notre Affaire à Tous, OXFAM, and the Fondation Pour la Nature et l’Homme—the December 18 petition contains over 40 pages alleging the French government’s inaction on climate change, claiming that the government has “defaulted its environmental obligations” by failing to take crucial steps to halt rising global temperatures.
