The government protects the glaciers and is their protector

The transitional environment minister, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, presented her with a plan aimed at the coast to protect the glaciers and their ecosystems, and, above all, the population located at their source.

These measures, details of a move to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie), were presented by the Party of the National Climate Adaptation Plan (PNACC) in October by the Prime Minister and are responsible for preparing the countries consequences of a house of 4°C of the The temperatures here until the end of the century.

The mountain ranges of the Alps and Pyrenees are particularly at risk as temperatures have risen by 2°C in the 20th century, compared to +1.4°C in the rest of France. The French glaciers were destroyed by 25% of their surface in half a century, and at this rate scientists recorded that they lived more or less 2,100 years ago.

“We know everything we need to do when we are unable to hold a conversation.”The Minister explained that he arrived in Chamonix before night and could not, due to the weather, receive the telecommunications service from Brévent, located at an altitude of 2,500 m.

“With 2025 being the International Year for the Conservation of Glaciers, the moment is in action”at-elle ajouté en presente a plan en trois volets.

The first gate to preventing risks such as glaciers, not “The creation of lakes and water bodies in the basement that could become brutal and migrate into the valley”. Previously, the minister was responsible for operations “levées de doutes” In the 360 ​​identified risk basins in the Alps.

Selon les glaciologues, la France compte quelque 550 glaciers dont une “petite poignée” It may be considered that the airborne population poses a potential danger. The use in nature has always been carried out at the pass of the glacial lake in Mont-Blanc, in the Hautes-Alpes or near Tignes (Savoie).

Second: The government has set itself the goal of protecting the glaciers, since the natural areas were created after their retreat and are therefore a preferred one “Biodiversity (which) must be fully installed in the areas”. Selon scientifiques, ces spaces auront à l’avenir un “higher role” During the stay in the mitigation and adaptation to changing climatic conditions.

Finally, the plan aims to enforce the southern border of the state in the Montagneux areas.

The government is careful to devalue stocks for these measures “I got to know all the existing systems and looked at the stocks on the Montagne so that I can take part in adapting to the climatic changes in the mountains.”selon le cabinet de la ministre.
