Overview

• The third National Climate Adaptation Plan (PNACC-3) was presented by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, outlining 51 measures to prepare for climate impacts.
• The plan includes mandatory vulnerability studies for key sectors like energy and transport, starting in 2025, to develop adaptation strategies.
• Critics argue the plan lacks sufficient financial backing, with the 'Barnier Fund' set to increase to €300 million by 2025, deemed inadequate by some experts.
• A public consultation on the plan will run until December 2024, allowing citizens to provide input via an online platform.
• Key measures focus on enhancing insurance coverage, improving thermal comfort in housing, and adapting work conditions to extreme heat.
