Cécile Duflot, director general of Oxfam France, former housing minister, and ex-leader of Europe Écologie-Les Verts, is the guest in a special video episode of Le Monde's 'Chaleur humaine' podcast. Released on October 21, 2025, this interview hosted by Nabil Wakim addresses the challenges of advancing climate issues in Parliament.
Duflot notes that many necessary measures for climate transition are already known: decarbonizing transport, changing the agricultural model, and consuming less energy. Yet, these actions do not always materialize in public policies. The former minister questions responsibilities: should politicians, media, scientists, or ecologists themselves be blamed?
She advocates for a strategic shift by ecologists to more forcefully impose climate issues in public debate. This episode fits into the 'Chaleur humaine' podcast, focused on reflections on the climate challenge. It is available in full on podcast platforms, as well as in video on YouTube and Dailymotion.
Duflot is also publishing the book 'Gagnons !' with Les Petits Matins on November 6, 2025. The episode was produced by Cécile Cazenave, directed by Joséfa Lopez, with contributions from Amandine Robillard, Marc Bettinelli, Laureline Savoye, and Elsa Longueville.
