Jean-Marc Jancovici presents the "Common Agreement" project: an assembly of 150 randomly selected citizens, representative of the French population, who will be invited to debate, compare their viewpoints, and formulate proposals on the major choices of our time. French industry or cheaper imported products? Purchasing power or reshoring? Consumption, employment, climate, energy, resources, biodiversity… For Jean-Marc Jancovici, many of these trade-offs become more difficult as our societies approach their physical limits. The goal is not to ask citizens to endorse pre-written proposals, but to empower them to choose the dilemmas they wish to address and to seek compromises. Jean-Marc Jancovici also discusses the differences with the Citizens' Convention for Climate, the representativeness of the 150 participants, the role of this initiative in the presidential debate, and how The Shift Project will analyze the candidates' platforms. The interview concludes with a discussion on ultra-fast fashion, consumption, and this central question: how can we collectively change our behavior when social norms push us to consume ever more? 👉 To discover and support the "A Common Agreement" project: https://fr.ulule.com/un-commun-accord/
