France’s Minister of Housing, Vincent Jeanbrun, detailed a new housing bill in an interview with Le Monde. The bill, presented to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, aims to increase housing supply across the country. A key focus of the legislation is adapting existing homes to better withstand increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves. Jeanbrun highlighted the need for improved support in modifying residences for extreme temperatures. The project also addresses broader housing availability issues, though specific details regarding increased supply were not immediately available. The Minister emphasized proactive measures to mitigate the impacts of climate change on the nation’s housing stock. This initiative signals a growing governmental concern over the dual challenges of housing shortages and rising temperatures.
