Fanny, 22, has decided to put her engineering studies on hiatus for a year to devote herself to the environment as a volunteer at La Fresque du Climat. The association organizes workshops in schools, universities and businesses to better understand climate issues. With the association, Fanny traveled to Glasgow, Scotland where the COP26 is being held until November 12.
A few days before her departure, Fanny wanted to believe it. “It’s a super important COP because it takes place six years after COP21. They asked not to exceed + 1.5 ° C and for the moment, that has not been respected at all. We want to believe it but it doesn’t follow behind“.
Emmanuel Macron makes great speeches but behind the actions do not follow.

Fanny says that she believes more in the power of citizens than in that of politics. “The more people will be aware of the problems linked to climate change, the more concrete actions people will take on a daily basis. When we reach 25% of the population who are aware and who talk about it around them, in theory policies follow, the right people will be elected and companies will change“.
For Fanny, we must first understand climate change in order to be able to act. “Help people understand climate issues, that’s what I do with the Climate Fresco. Inform and educate as many people as possible”.
“Youth, she is motivated. We’re trying to save humanity. It’s really an issue that is beyond us“, explains Fanny, whose commitment also continues in politics.”I will vote not to have more money in my savings account but to ensure that I have a decent life in 2050“.
I vote environmentalist because for me, it is the only party that intends to respect what the IPCC reports demand.

For Fanny, the most urgent measure is to “achieve carbon neutrality in 2050. There are plenty of measures written for that. We know what to do “. The student also regrets that the campaign for 2022 “always revolves around controversial subjects“.
