Summary

In this excerpt of C dans l’air, Jean-Marc Jancovici discusses the extreme weather events of 2026, including a deadly glacier avalanche in Nepal and the effects of El Niño. He emphasizes that the climate of the 20th century is lost forever and that records will be broken again. The interview then focuses on his new initiative ‘Un commun accord’ (A common agreement), a citizens’ assembly of 150 randomly selected French representatives who will deliberate on major societal issues over six weekends and produce proposals ahead of the presidential election. Jancovici clarifies that this is not an ecological pact nor a climate assembly, but a broader exercise in collective decision-making. He argues that many issues lack simple solutions and that citizens’ preferences should be heard. The initiative has already gathered over 50,000 supporters in its first day, indicating a strong desire for participation. The video highlights both the urgency of climate action and the importance of democratic deliberation.
