The new French prime minister could be a woman who knows all important people on the international climate scene – and with whom most of the key players have already had contact: Laurence Tubiana, head of the European Climate Foundation (ECF) and one of the architects of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. The Frenchwoman is exceptionally well connected, not only on the climate scene, but also in European and French politics. She combines scientific expertise with political flair and a charming demeanor. And she is regarded as someone with a close connection to the Élysée Palace and Emmanuel Macron.
