Charlotte Baris: Dear listeners, if you listened to yesterday’s episode, you know that this week we are engaged in a little foresight exercise with the journalists from L’Express. Yesterday, with Alexandra Saviana, from the Society department, we developed several disaster scenarios for French Defense. What do they have in common? They all involve the same enemy: Russia. If you haven’t listened to this episode, I invite you to pause it, rewind the thread on your listening platform and come back in a few minutes.
Today, we decided to continue this exercise with a much less geopolitical subject. But that has been worrying experts for a long time. You have understood, our subject of the day is water. How we access it, how we use it on a daily basis. Its destructive potential too.
And for this, we called on two journalists from the Climate section of L’Express. They will show us to what extent the risks are numerous and call for very different responses, starting today.
