If you are an American scientist, student, teacher, or business personworking on climate change solutions, France would love for you to stayawhile.
Following President Trump''s June 2 decision to withdraw from the Parisclimate agreement — a multi-country pact that acknowledges global warmingposes serious threats to humanity and the environment — the Frenchgovernment has created an outlet for people from all countries who stillwant to fight climate change.
The website is called Make Our Planet Great Again.
Researchers, teachers, and students can apply for a four-year grant thatallows them to continue their studies or instruction, fully financed. Thesite also provides information on how to move to France by obtaining a workvisa and residency permit.
The website explains: “You will be able to stay in France at least for theduration of the grant, and longer if you are granted a permanent position.
There is no restriction on your husband / wife working in France. If youhave children, note that French public schools are free, and the tuitionfees of universities and ''grandes écoles'' are very low compared to theAmerican system.”Businesspeople and heads of NGOs can also apply to receive funding from thefederal government, which issues grants to organizations it considersdeserving.
Emmanuel Macron won the French presidential election May 7. Since hisvictory, a video his campaign posted in February has been making the roundson American social media. The Facebook video was addressed to Americanclimate scientists who feel alienated by the Trump administration. Lookingstraight into the camera, speaking English, Macron tells American "researchers, entrepreneurs, [and] engineers working on climate change" thatthey have a home in his country.
