Paris. Expected for more than a year, constantly pushed, the third national plan to adapt to climate change (PNACC-3) has just been made public. Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister of Ecological Transition, presented the final version on March 10. In total, fifty-two measures to be implemented at the local level, so that France is preparing for a warming of + 4 ° C by 2100 compared to the pre-industrial era (it has already exceeded + 1.5 ° C in 2024).
Many sectors are concerned, and among them that of culture. The plan recommends six actions shot towards an objective entitled: “Protect our natural and cultural heritage from the impacts of climate change. »» Actions that therefore do not aim to mitigate its impact on warming – even if the issue is undoubtedly complementary -, but to prepare it. “It is interesting to see that this plan recognizes the importance of culture, since a whole measure is dedicated to it, but it does not put it in contact with the other axes. For example, he does not integrate it among the living forces mobilized to adapt to climate change ”, Pointe Lauranne Germond, director and co -founder of the Coal association, which promotes the role of creation in the ecological transition. “Culture is only recognized at the scale of heritage preservation, which I find a little reductive. »»
Among the priorities of the plan, map and prioritize the climatic risks faced by cultural heritage, and then integrate or update them in the safeguarding plans (PSBC), of which many cultural establishments are still devoid of. “In all these actions, the natural heritageis completely ousted. While the stake of biodiversity is essential for many cultural sites, especially those located in the forest ”
deplores Lauranne Germond.
Building maintenance In fact, the actions proposed focus mainly on the building. One of the major axes of the plan relates to their maintenance: it encourages thermal and energy renovation, as well as the upgrading of the conservation spaces of the works. The point is important. Poorly insulated buildings are legion while increased temperatures and humidity is becoming more and more problematic for those who do not have suitable reserves. The PNACC-3 remains very vague as to the budget allocated to support these measures, the remaining financial component “To be defined”
For most actions.
ERRATUM – March 18, 2025 Contrary to what has been published in the
JdaN ° 651, Lauranne Germond wishes to emphasize that it is interesting to note that the natural heritage is well taken into account and associated with the cultural heritage in axis 4 dedicated to measures 43 and 44 of the plan.
