Camille Étienne

Camille Étienne (born 29 May 1998) is a French ecological activist, writer and director. She is a member of the "Avant l'Orage" duo with Solal Moisan, with which she has co-directed the short films "GENERATION", "DESOBEIR" and "GLACIER". After studying at Sciences Po Paris, she quickly became involved in many political battles, striving to popularize new and alternative ways of cohabiting with our world in the face of impending climate crisis. She has often intervened at the European Parliament along with fellow activists Greta Thunberg and Adelaïde Charlier for climate related questions, has made apparitions on national television calling for civil disobedience and a search for meaningful work in a slower society, and has written in left-wing newspapers such as Socialter or L'Humanité. Founder of the #LookDown action, she calls for the prohibition of deep sea mining across the globe. She is also an outspoken member of the #StopEACOP initiative, speaking out against French giant TotalEnergies' construction of a crude oil pipeline in East Africa. She is in Vanity Fair's list of the 50 most influential French women of 2020, alongside Adèle Haenel or Virginie Despentes.
