An endless heat wave, gigantic fires, torrential rains… France experienced a season in hell during the summer of 2022. With global warming, natural disasters are increasing, and in particular the drought which attacks homes and businesses. crack: 10 million homes could be affected by the phenomenon in the country.
For this new issue of the magazine “Cash Investigation” (Facebook, Twitter, #cashinvestigati). The journalist Mathieu Robert investigated this scourge and discovered that the French were increasingly poorly compensated because insurance very often refuses to reimburse the damage. And the ever-increasing number of victims of the drought must complete a veritable obstacle course.
The French are increasingly exposed to natural disasters
The global cost of natural disasters in 2021 amounts to 221 billion euros. And if the insurance companies sound the alarm, some of them continue to insure and finance companies that aggravate global warming. Elise Lucet went to question these companies which play arsonist firefighters. Insurers are not the only ones to play this dangerous game… municipalities too.
Constructions devour nature. Every ten years, the equivalent of the surface of a department of natural spaces disappears in France under the concrete. In certain regions such as the Côte d’Azur, this “artificialization” of the soil increases the risk of sometimes deadly flooding. Droughts, floods, the French are more and more exposed to natural disasters, but will they still be protected and compensated?
Guests from all walks of life, citizens, decision-makers, bosses, politicians, experts… answer Elise Lucet’s questions and provide solutions after the publication of this survey. What are the remedies of the victims? Can you build your house differently? Should we stop cementing France? How should the State, companies and citizens act in the face of climate change? What measures should be implemented to combat climate change? “Cash Investigation”: revelations, a debate, solutions.
