Thursday for “climate inaction”, several mobilizations are organized in France at the end of the week in order to challenge society and the government on the subject of the climate emergency.Following the example of Greta Thunberg, the icon of the youth fight against global warming, French high school and university students are calling on Friday to skip class as part of the international Youth for Climate movement.The next day, 140 associations in turn organized a mobilization of citizens throughout France.For the moment, 170 events are planned on the territory.Alongside these events, an association advocates “zero consumption” during these two days of mobilization.This appeal against the state, also called the "case of the century", will be filed Thursday on the grounds of climate inaction.Four non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are behind the initiative: the Nicolas-Hulot Foundation, Greenpeace France, Notre affaires à tous and Oxfam France.Launched on December 17, the petition brought together more than 2 million signatories.Unheard of in France.These NGOs accuse the State of a “culpable failure” for its “failing action” to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.On February 15, the Ministry of Ecological Transition published a letter accompanied by ten pages of arguments detailing the actions of the State.Unconvinced, the NGOs then launched an appeal.In particular, they highlight six major priority measures which “could enable France to fight against climate change and reconcile ecological transition and social justice”.Read also Complaint for climate inaction: “The role of the state is to limit global warming”"We will be treated as bad students, but those who have not done their duty are the governments", proclaim some young people in a call for a rally.A month ago, following the example of Greta Thunberg who has been leading a climate "strike" every Friday since last August, young French people called for a mobilization for "the national climate" this Friday .Events are organized in more than a hundred French cities.In Lille, a march is planned at 2 p.m. towards the Grand-Place.In Paris, a demonstration will be held from 2 p.m., in front of the Ministry of Ecological Transition.Read also Greta Thunberg, 16, the environmental activist who inspires young people around the worldThe organizers of the march call on parents, teachers, and citizens to mobilize with young people.To show the scale of the movement, the Boycott Citoyen association has published an interactive map of all the events organized around the world on Friday 15 March.For his part, the Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, announced that he wanted to organize debates on the environment on the same day in all French high schools, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m."It's about demonstrating the importance of this subject", and "working on concrete things that we can propose so that the high school students themselves get involved", he explains.This does not convince the Youth for Climate association, which judges this act as a “desperate gesture” aimed at “stifling the protests which will be expressed in the streets that day”.It therefore enjoins the students to go to the strike.Climate: should the state be prosecuted?- Watch on Figaro Live140 associations and organisations, as diverse as Greenpeace, the Human Rights League and Secours Catholique, are calling for a "March of the Century" on Saturday March 16 to demand "immediate changes" in the fight against global warming and against social injustice.170 events are

Citoyen association calls for people not to consume during these two days.Do not use your credit card, do not make a purchase, do not turn on your television, the association advocates a “zero consumption” Friday and Saturday.For now, more than 55,000 people are interested in the idea on Facebook.Oxfam better deal with the sex scandals that concern it.By the way, how many taxes does this NGO pay in France?Oxfam among the signatories?And their ponchos from Peru and their orange juice from Kenya, they come on foot?Stupid!That young people go for their little demonstration, especially instead of going to class, who hasn't done it?But that adults pretend to believe that these young people live ecologically, what hypocrisy!Ask them to give up all their polluting electronic equipment, not to hope to have an electric scooter, to agree never to hang around in the shower, to live at 18 degrees in their room, etc...TESTIMONIALS - A recent law makes it easy to change your surname.A blessing for those who no longer assume it.INTERVIEW – In her first book, psychoanalyst and marriage therapist Cécilia Commo thwarts prejudices about the ideal relationship.The key is to shed light on the mechanisms of the couple and a liberating eulogy of romantic imperfection.INFO LE FIGARO – The 57-year-old preacher would own half a dozen homes, which he would rent despite their obviously
