On December 22, the General Secretariat for Ecological Planning (SGPE) unveiled a first version of an ambitious roadmap prepared by Laura Létourneau. The main objective of this initiative is to establish a “unsiloed organization”, favoring a more collaborative and integrated approach. To realize this vision, a digital and data strategic committee will be created, co-chaired by the SGPE and the Interministerial Digital Directorate. This committee will supervise the implementation of the 147 actions planned in the document and will be supported by thematic committees, aiming to decompartmentalize the projects. At the same time, an interministerial fund of 250 million euros is planned for the year 2024 in order to finance these initiatives. In this article, we will explore the main components of this roadmap, its implications and the issues related to decompartmentalized governance in the field of ecological planning.
Creation of a Dislocated Organization
The central element of the roadmap is the creation of a “unsiloed organization”. This approach aims to break down traditional barriers between different government entities and foster closer collaboration. The digital and data strategic committee, with its co-presidency between the SGPE and the Interministerial Digital Directorate, embodies this desire for coordination. Its mission will be to oversee the implementation of the measures planned in the roadmap, with an emphasis on the effective use of data and digital technologies to achieve ecological objectives.
Thematic Committees to decompartmentalize projects
The implementation of the 147 actions defined in the roadmap will be supported by thematic committees. The implementation of the 147 actions defined in the roadmap will be supported by thematic committees. The idea is to decompartmentalize projects by promoting an exchange of expertise and encouraging cooperation between the different stakeholders. This collaborative approach should enable greater efficiency in achieving the objectives set, by exploiting synergies and avoiding unnecessary duplication.
Financing by an Interministerial Fund
Achieving this ambition requires substantial financial resources. This is why the creation of an interministerial fund of 250 million euros for the year 2024 is envisaged. This fund will be used to finance the various initiatives of the roadmap, thus guaranteeing the effective implementation of the planned actions. Transparency and accountability in the use of these funds will be crucial to maintaining public and stakeholder confidence in the ecological planning process.
Encouragement of the use of Artificial Intelligence
Among the proposed measures, we note a particular incentive for communities and agents of the Ministry of Ecology to take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The use of AI can play a crucial role in analyzing complex environmental data, enabling more informed decision-making. This incentive aims to create a culture of innovation and fully exploit the potential of emerging technologies to address ecological challenges.
Strengthening Business Resumption Plans in the face of climate risks
Another important dimension of the roadmap concerns the strengthening of business recovery plans for digital sectors based on climate risks. Ecological planning cannot ignore the potential implications of climate change on digital infrastructure. By strengthening business recovery plans, the government aims to ensure the resilience of digital systems to extreme weather events, thereby minimizing potential disruption.
Public consultation on the roadmap
The roadmap developed by the SGPE will be the subject of public consultation over the next six months. This is intended to ensure the inclusion of diverse perspectives and to gather public comments and suggestions. Open governance can only succeed if it is accepted and supported by society as a whole. La concertation publique offre une occasion cruciale d’assurer la légitimité de la feuille de route et de la rendre véritablement représentative des besoins et des aspirations de la population.
The roadmap of the General Secretariat for Ecological Planning marks a significant turning point towards decompartmentalized governance. With a focus on the use of data and digital technologies, it offers an integrated approach to addressing the complex challenges of ecological planning. Measures such as the creation of a strategic committee, the establishment of thematic committees, funding from an interministerial fund and encouraging the use of AI reflect a bold vision for the future. Public consultation over the coming months will be crucial to refine and strengthen this roadmap, thus ensuring its success in achieving sustainable and effective ecological planning.
