A French association, Ghett’Up, is highlighting the disproportionate impact of the current heatwave on young people living in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Founder Inès Seddiki argues these communities are facing both physical and psychological strain due to the extreme temperatures. She attributes this to worsening energy poverty and a lack of institutional response. Seddiki also points to societal stigmatization as a contributing factor to the vulnerability of these youth. The association’s concerns, expressed in an interview with *Le Monde*, emphasize the intersection of climate change, social inequality, and public health. They call for greater attention to the specific needs of marginalized communities during periods of extreme heat. The situation underscores a growing concern about climate justice and equitable access to resources.
