World Climate Day is celebrated every year on 8th December. How are the world’s cities reinventing themselves to adapt to climate change? What will Paris be like in 2050 in terms of the double objective of carbon neutrality and its reinforced resilience? Since the early 2000s, the Paris Urbanism Agency has been working on environmental issues to meet these objectives.
What tool-box can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and enable our cities to achieve the 2050 climate objectives? How can we address the numerous underlying challenges: heat islands, reduce energy consumption by rehabilitating buildings, optimise networks, preserve ressources, optimise the water cycle, improve the air and water quality, etc? How can we give nature and cool spaces their proper place in a city? All these questions concerning sobriety and energy transformation have obliged the Paris Urbanism Agency to find answers through a series of studies.
These endeavours to meet the climatic and energetic challenges can be (re)discovered in “The spectrum of rules for a carbon-neutral and sustainable city - Observatory for a sustainable city - Paris” and in work on urban heating networks, cooling networks, the energy atlas, publications on urban heat islands, on the rehabilitation of buildings, on vegetation, etc.
