At the end of a summer which made everyone sensitive to the harshness of climate change, the left parties are always looking for the success of political ecology. “Climate justice”, say, “popular ecology”, others: so many words to reconcile the ecological project with a mass electorate. In this battle, environmentalists, despite their historical place on the subject, leave with a handicap: the score of Yannick Jadot in the presidential election, the failure of his attempt to touch beyond the middle classes of big cities.
