WorldAs France battles unprecedented wildfires, Caroit calls for global climate action

French Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Éléonore Caroit discusses France’s response to an unprecedented heatwave and wildfire season. She frames the challenge through operational crisis management, international solidarity and climate governance. Caroit says governments must keep improving preparedness while investing in adaptation, resilient infrastructure and urban planning. She argues that national capacity alone cannot confront a crisis driven by global greenhouse-gas emissions, so domestic measures must be matched by sustained international climate cooperation.
