turning point | French radio

The climate crisis has been the subject of strong international scientific consensus for more than twenty years, documented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in its successive reports. No one can ignore the serious and tangible consequences for the environment, economy and human life. Much has been done to talk about environmental issues on our channels and to make Radio France an environmentally responsible public service. However, in the face of the scale of the climate emergency, we are determined to move forward. Radio France is taking an environmental turn.

As arguments:

1- We stand firmly on the side of scienceLeaving aside the scope and existence of the debate on the climate crisis
as its human origin. It is an established scientific fact, not one opinion among others.

2- We will provide reliable information about the effects of the climate crisis In France and around the world,
Based on verified data and using vocabulary that reflects the reality of this crisis without underestimating it.

3- We will highlight environmental transformation. We will bring our antennas to life in a contrasting and civilized public space
about the choices we face. We will help spread the word about innovations and solutions,
Daily individual behaviors to the most organized economic changes, and therefore careful not to do so
It nurtures climate discouragement but to give everyone the keys to understanding, discussion and action.

So :

4- France’s radio antennas make the climate crisis a major editorial focus. It will be available in our programs and news sections daily and in specials. We will also keep a large amount of custom software and logs. Easy thematic access to these programs will always be available at Site And the application of Radio France.

5- Radio France launches the largest training plan in its history for journalists, producers, production teams and presenters on climate and scientific issues.. We are changing our philosophy: Environment and Science will not be the only business of professional journalists, they will form the essential knowledge base that can be mobilized by all of our editorial teams.

6- We are accelerating our transition to more responsible advertising by targeting the gradual elimination of the most polluting products and services. s. We will increase by 15% annually the volume of ads dedicated to responsible products, services and companies, as measured by an external organization. In particular, we are expanding the number of advertising spaces offered to organizations participating in the transition (+20% of “common space transitions”) spaces.

7- We make our digital sobriety a priority. Radio is a well-built media, yet we are aware of the challenge posed by digital uses. A dedicated energy monitoring team is working to improve our product code and usage. We will engage with digital players to reduce the carbon footprint associated with storing and distributing our content.

As a business:

8- We adopt an immediate energy sobriety plan (In particular: limit heating and air conditioning temperatures according to official recommendations, turn off unnecessary lights, etc.).

9- We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint by 40% by 2030.

10- We will be transparent about our progress by providing regular reports on the progress of our goals.
