Maurice Feschet, 72, a lavender farmer in Grignan, Provence, told the Guardianhe became involved in the action against the EU after losing 44% of his harvest in six years because of climate change. This is mostly due to the threat of climate change. Climate Action Network (CAN), Europe’s largest NGO working on climate and energy issues, is also supporting the action. “Yet, it is clear that the existing EU 2030 climate target is not enough to respect the commitments taken in the Paris agreement and should be increased. This legal action initiated by normal families impacted by climate change is underlining the urgency and the necessity to increase it.”
