French Prime Minister Jean Castex and the Minister for Ecological Transition, Barbara Pompili, welcome to Matignon about twenty representatives of the Citizen's Climate Convention for an update. Several months ago 149 proposals were made by 150, randomly-picked citizens, 146 of which were initially accepted by president Emmanuel Macron. Critics including Grenoble's mayor, ecologist Eric Piolle, say the government is steadily dropping the proposals one by one. IMAGES
