PARIS FRANCE
“Human beings are a part of this planet, and poverty is an obstacle to solving the ecological challenge. To win the fight against inequality, social inclusion and ecology must go together.” MAYOR ANNE HIDALGO
We’re proud that Paris City Hall’s focus on climate change started over 10 years ago. Since then, we have established and fine-tuned a truly integrated policy across all municipal activities. With the help of Paris Deputy Mayor for the Environment, Celia Blauel, we can now say that every city department and all of our people ‘think climate’, particularly in the area of social care. For instance, our social centers and agencies for elderly and homeless people are trained and equipped to face a potentially catastrophic heatwave.
