Facing Climate Change: Relocating an Entire Village!

In this episode of C pas si loin on France 5, Marie Évo shared her expertise on a topic as ambitious as it is necessary: the relocation of the village of Miquelon-Langlade in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.

🌊 In response to rising sea levels and increasingly severe storms, this reconstruction project — set 20 meters above sea level — is a concrete example of how communities are adapting to climate change. It also highlights the importance of raising awareness among the general public about the risks they face.

🏛️ How are local governments and elected officials adapting?

Local authorities are on the front lines: conducting risk assessments, engaging in dialogue with residents, and developing solutions tailored to the diversity of local contexts.

Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon offers a remarkable case study: an urban planning project that allows residents to envision a desirable future, with new centers of community life and a shared vision of resilience.

To reduce future risks, we must act today.
