Environmental Policy and Strategy
The Environmental Policy and Strategy aims to reduce our ecological impact and preserve biodiversity, while promoting adaptation to climate change, urban resilience and sustainable development. It is intended to be timeless and complementary to the City's other planning tools. Over time, it will be supplemented by concrete action plans designed to meet current and future environmental challenges.
This Environmental Policy and Strategy is the result of a rigorous process begun in February 2022, during which surveys were conducted among the population, and also takes into account the extensive public consultation process carried out as part of the development of the previous policy.
This policy covers eight major themes that reflect the City’s main environmental challenges:
- Biodiversity
- Agriculture and urban forestry
- Land-use planning
- Infrastructures
- Waste management
- Green City
- Financial resilience
- Public safety
Climate change is addressed as part of each theme by presenting current and future environmental issues as well as the way these issues have changed over time.
