Overview
- Philippe formally unveiled a campaign plank he called a «politique de sécurité climatique» during a presentation in Anjou and said the Élysée would drive the plan.
- He proposed building French-made Canadair water-bombers to boost national firefighting capacity and creating an environmental-style service national to mobilize personnel for preparedness.
- Philippe framed adaptation as a matter of collective security, saying he refuses to leave “a France disarmed” to future generations and arguing the state must act now to be ready for changing climate conditions.
- He used the rollout to position Horizons between rivals, accusing the Rassemblement National of climate denial and La France insoumise of doctrinaire anti-capitalism while adopting Chirac-style popular imagery during the visit.
- The speech drew on a summer of extreme heat, drought and wildfires to justify urgency and could shift the 2027 campaign debate toward state-led adaptation, industrial policy and civil mobilization for emergencies.
