World leaders: The fight for climate change

Climate Change

EMMANUEL MACRON

A lot of promises. Emmanuel Macron has explained his plans and promises on fighting this world wide crisis, even throughout the Covid-19 pandemic he was still thinking about global warming and sticking to his ‘plans’, but a lot of people (especially world leaders) are saying they are just empty words and that he hasn’t physically done anything to help the planet. French environment campaigners have warned Emmanuel Macron is doing too little to combat climate change and must radically rethink his environment policy if he is to honour his promise to “make this planet great again”. Although Macron did not make environmental issues a major part of his election manifesto last year, he later attempted to push them to the forefront as a symbol of progressive politics and to counter Donald Trump’s decision to take the US out of the Paris climate accord.
