Nicolas Hulot, an environmentalist and former TV personality, announced his resignation during a breakfast show on radio France Inter, saying the French president wasn't doing enough on climate and other environmental goals. 'For the first time I'm going to take the hardest decision of my life,' said Hulot: 'I don't want to lie to myself any more.' The French president was not informed of his resignation beforehand
