François Hollande at Morning Coworking République!

To mark COP24, from 26 November to 14 December

Among its coworkers, Morning Coworking République counts the friends from WeDemain, who are on the lookout for the technological, economic, energy, food and artistic initiatives capable of reinventing the world. We Demain is first and foremost a quarterly magazine and a website, wedemain.fr, but also a place: L'Appart We Demain.

Conceived in partnership with Morning Coworking, the venue – on the 8th floor – hosts debates and the sharing of ideas and solutions organised by the team. On 26 November, the team invited François Hollande to a debate evening devoted to COP24.

He said it, and we're repeating it.

"What threatens us is insularity; we have to succeed in uniting around what we share" – "Can we reconcile ecology, social justice and democracy? The question is worth asking." – "We can't tell developing countries: no, you can't reap the benefits because we've already used up all the resources" – "There is a demographic problem on the planet. The logical thing would be to regulate births so that growth is sustainable" – "I don't think the gilets jaunes want to work against ecology" – "On energy policy, the state has an enormous amount of room for manoeuvre. This subject deserves a public debate"

"In the theory of collapse and collapsology, there is that terrible aspect, but there is also the idea that we can invest whatever it takes to avoid it" – "The person who has best understood the power of words is Donald Trump. In two tweets, he's picked up by the whole planet." – "Democracy saved the 20th century, and it will save the 21st, because it is founded on universal suffrage and freedom." – "There is a crisis of democracy… We need to find forms of participation other than voting" – "For a long time we said we had to fight climate change for our children and grandchildren. Today, it's for ourselves that we have to fight."
