For Audrey Pulvar, Nicolas Hulot is "very alone in the government"

She believes that the government is still far from keeping its promises. While Nicolas Hulot unveils on Wednesday, in the columns of Parisien its biodiversity plan, Audrey Pulvar, president of the Foundation for Nature and Man, considers that the ecologist is too isolated within the executive in order to be able to give substance to its ambitions in terms of the environment and sustainable development. "You have a minister of ecological transition and solidarity who is particularly involved, dedicated, dedicated and sincere in his struggles, but who is very alone in the government," she notes at the microphone of Europe 1 Hello .

The consequences of "at the same time". For the former journalist, the government is struggling to break out of declarations of intent and to act. "The course is good in the speeches, but not in the measures and the questioning of the system," she laments. "The demonstrations of friendship of Emmanuel Macron or Edouard Philippe [withregardtoNicolasHulot note ] can not hide the 'at the same time' of this government," points out Audrey Pulvar. "At the same time that we are talking about biodiversity today, we are not putting the ban on glyphosate in the law, we are talking about promoting the nuclear industry when we know very well that it is dangerous for the environment and human health, but it is also extremely expensive […]"she explains.

Not coherent enough "If Nicolas Hulot was not there, it would probably be worse," she concedes. However, without a common awareness of different government officials, she does not believe in a real leap in ecology. "There is no providential man or woman, Nicolas Hulot is the man of the situation, I do not doubt it, but he can not remain the man of the situation if he remains alone. to the government, it is necessary that in Bercy, it is necessary that in the Ministry of Agriculture, it is necessary that to Matignon each one takes its responsibilities and that each one is in complete sincerity, not only in the speeches but in the acts ", she ordered. "We need public policies to be a little more coherent, that we stop doing at the same time, in the speeches, the ecological transition and, in fact, the perpetuation of the old system based on fossil fuels"

Financing the Ecological Transition. And to enjoin the power to do more, the foundation she chairs presents in the margin of Nicolas Hulot's plan for biodiversity "a number of recommendations". With a flagship measure for the government to finally give itself the means to act: "to include in the draft law finances for 2018 the total allocation of the proceeds of the carbon tax to the ecological transition", or 27.5 billion euros by the end of the five-year period
