Minister for Ecological Transition Monique Barbut announced on Sunday, July 19, in La Tribune Dimanche, a substantial increase in the Green Fund, which will reach one billion euros in the next budget. This allocation is part of an overall strengthening of the environmental budget planned for 2027. The minister stated that she wants to send a strong signal to those working on the ground.
Priority to climate adaptation
The stated priority is to finance adaptation to climate change. This shift marks a change in government strategy, which now prioritizes concrete measures to address the disruptions already observed. The Green Climate Fund traditionally finances projects led by local authorities.
This budget announcement comes at a time when climate constraints are increasingly straining local public finances. Monique Barbut is counting on this measure to accelerate adaptation projects in the areas most exposed to environmental risks.
