Have you heardHeard listened to I don't know

At the time where open this weekend of the PS and the Greens summer universities, host Green calls on all parties concerned to create "the spark which will set in motion the class policy around a national pact on ecology".

Your possible candidacy for the presidential announcement caused a cascade of reactions. Have you heard

Heard, listened to, I don't know. Some have tended to reduce this inquiry to the political kitchen over the substantive issues. No one can accept that the commitment to the environment of the France is subservient to the only report of strength between the Greens and the Socialist Party. We cannot afford this luxury. I try for months to mobilize the society and the major parties on the urgency of placing the ecological and climate imperative at the top of the issues of the presidential. I am not looking for personal power, but I want to create the spark which will set in motion the political class around a national pact on ecology.

What do you mean by "national pact"

The political world must change of mode of thinking, accept the idea that ecology is not something that can subcontract to a Minister or scientific. It is not a view of the spirit, attested by hundreds of scientific reports: there is urgency to act against the dangers of global warming, the loss of biodiversity. This situation is not normal electoral strategies fits. I applaud when Ségolène Royal displays his ambition to make the France an example to Europe's ecology, the same title that I applaud anything that can contribute to responding to environmental issues, but what matters above all is how and with what means. If the political world does not accept to organize ecological change, it will impose itself, willingly where strength, it is the principle of reality.

Can you give an example

Without wanting to scare, the elevation of a degree of the temperature in the Sahelian Strip there will make life still more impossible and légitimera, as elsewhere, the massive displacement of populations. Cannot answer only coercively on this subject in Europe. Need to find cures for climate disorders and at the same time give good reasons for these populations do not leave their country.

Sunday, you will participate at the close of the summer University for the Greens. The theme is "What perspective for political ecology in 2006". That answer you

First, the solutions cannot be the prerogative of a single party. The existence of a left-right divide is essential to the proper functioning of democracy, but should not hinder the mobilization on the subject. Should NGO representatives involved crossing the Rubicon and stand as candidates in the presidential election I am convinced that this is not healthy, that everyone must remain in his role. Ours is to alert, but also to contribute to the solutions, this is why a set of proposals will soon be on the table with the "Alliance", a coalition of some 60 NGOs created to stop the presidential policy. And for our part, to the Foundation Nicolas Hulot, a book is being written in which we will show that should be, inter alia, radical tax choices, establish new standards and impose rules of moderation. We will leave policies react.

That answer you to Dominique Voynet and Jean-Luc Bennahmias proposal to create a "dream team" of ecology

Any proposal to expand the hearing of the ecology is going in the right direction. I am however confident that environmental concerns may not be limited to a single political movement so effective is. My goal is to decompartmentalize the ecology and to ensure that all major political movements appropriated these issues and contribute to the response. I would like to open green space which should benefit first those that have historical legitimacy, among others.

You have been, or you are always close to Jacques Chirac. This relationship has vaccinated against any proximity with policies

It is too easy to ask me if I am disappointed. I would first note the path taken by the head of State about the ecology, and the strength of his commitment on this issue to the international. Its role has been essential to the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, including by the Russia. Of course, the gap between words and the reality of the acts in France is real. This shows the limits of the power of the head of State with a parliamentary majority of reluctant.
