Last Sunday, Marine Le Pen launched her 2027 presidential campaign in Hénin-Beaumont, a town in northern France where she has strong support. During the event, she outlined several policies that critics argue could undermine environmental efforts, such as the elimination of a regulation that limits the conversion of natural land into urban areas. These proposals contrast with the recent climate concerns expressed by some National Rally (RN) officials during the summer heatwaves. According to Stéphane François, a specialist on far-right ecology, the RN and its candidate have not yet provided concrete ecological policies for the upcoming election. The National Rally has long focused on issues like immigration, security, and national identity, but it typically addresses climate change only when it becomes unavoidable in the public eye—such as during extreme weather events. This summer, as France experienced record-breaking heat, some RN officials unexpectedly shifted their stance, criticizing the government for not heeding climate scientists sooner. This change in tone, however, appears to be more about political strategy than a genuine commitment to addressing climate change. During her campaign launch, Le Pen avoided discussing the recent extreme weather and instead criticized what she called "absurd" environmental policies. She pledged to eliminate the "zero net artificialisation" (ZAN) goal, which aims to limit urban sprawl, and to reduce the requirement for energy performance diagnostics (DPE) for rental properties. These policies align with her broader focus on traditional values and economic deregulation, rather than ecological sustainability. According to Stéphane François, the RN has historically used climate issues as a political tool rather than a priority. While the party has shown a slight evolution in recent months, such as when two RN deputies proposed a "climate plan" focused on improving comfort through air conditioning, these measures are seen as superficial and not comprehensive solutions to the climate crisis. The party still lacks a coherent ecological program, and its actions in newly controlled municipalities, such as halting green initiatives, suggest little real change in its environmental stance. Despite this, some far-right politicians have genuine ecological concerns, but the RN has not embraced them.
