Macron's Water-Saving Plan Addresses Climate Change and Drought
French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled a water-saving plan that includes 50 measures, such as fixing leaking pipes, adapting the way farmers and the nuclear industry use water, and making water more expensive for those who use a lot. Macron stressed that protests will not stop reforms, in a nod to both climate change and an unpopular pension bill. The water plan is the president's first major policy announcement and public outing after weeks focused on the pension bill, which has triggered fierce protests across the country.
