ACR+ member Paris has launched the new Climate Plan, which is a concrete implementation of the commitments made by France during COP 21 and a guide for Paris to become carbon neutral. The plan outlines 500 measures in several areas such as construction, transport, energy, nutrition, waste, lifestyle, finance, etc.

Since 2004, the City of Paris has been engaged in the fight against climate change. It resulted in the adoption of the Climate Plan in 2007. With the aim to strengthen its commitments, the City of Paris has developed a new edition of the plan. The process involved a consultation with the Paris community and other cities.
