“We must put the climate before trade,” insists the elected France rebellious.

“It’s a COP that is not moving forward, from COP to COP we can’t take it anymore”, denounces Saturday, November 13 on franceinfo the deputy La France Insoumise de Seine-Saint-Denis Clémentin Autain, while the great Glasgow climate conference must end, after negotiations between the signatory countries of the Paris agreement have been extended until Saturday.

“We hear a lot of speeches where heads of state follow each other and explain to us hand on heart that we must respond to the climate crisis”, she describes, “and then there is the practice and there, there is no one left”. MP LFI takes the example of the commitment made by the richest countries to pay $ 100 billion a year to the countries of the South, to help them fight against climate change. We are currently “far from the account, at 79 billion, mainly loans, not donations”, which the countries of the South must reimburse.

Clémentine Autain calls for “put the climate before trade, the IPCC before the WTO”, criticizing in particular France, which “statements” during the COP “making sign” in parallel “sweeping free trade treaties, where everything circulates more around the world, which has an absolutely terrible cost for our carbon footprint.”
