    À Miquelon, la montée des eaux menace l’avenir d’un village. Face au changement climatique, il nous faut nous adapter. Nous relocalisons le village pour protéger ses habitants et permettre aux générations futures de continuer à vivre sur leur terre. Nous adapter, sans jamais nous résigner. Nous continuerons à œuvrer pour protéger les territoires menacés, réduire nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre et limiter le réchauffement.

Pour Miquelon, pour tous nos territoires, pour les générations à venir.
