03. Security or Surveillance? Climate Activism Under Watch in France: “Hope after the algorithm"'

8/14/2025
France says it’s leading the fight against climate change. So why is it treating climate activists like criminals? Security or Surveillance? Climate Activism Under Watch in France is a three-part mini-series from Are We Europe, hosted by journalist Seden Anlar. It investigates how artificial intelligence, counterterrorism rhetoric, and state surveillance are being used to silence climate activists, restrict protest, and reshape civic space in France—and across the EU. Through personal stories and expert insight, the series explores the human cost of repression and the growing criminalisation of environmental protest. This podcast was produced within the scope of FOCUS, a project co-financed by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or EU CERV.
