Regions and citizens acting together
against climate change
2 December - 9am - 4pm
Halle Pajol : 20 Esplanade Nathalie Sarraute, Paris (see map below)
Regions, cities and citizens of the world are at the heart of the response to climate
change, both for climate change mitigation and adaptation. It is by acting locally
and regionally that the contribution to global goals will be most impactful. The
mobilization of local elected officials, businesses and citizens, the integration of the
activities of sub-national territories must be taken into account in the agreements
resulting from the COP 21.
Following the international conference of 13th of April 2015, ARENE, in partnership
with FEDARENE (European Federation of Agencies and Regions for Energy and
the Environment), the European Committee of the Regions and Île-de-France
Europe invite you to this day of international discussions at the Halle Pajol in Paris.
A roundtable in the morning will gather a panel of international actors operating at
both local and global levels.
In the afternoon, eight workshops will invite us to analyze outstanding international
local initiatives that contribute to the fight against climate change, to the local
resource economy and the development of renewable energies.
By highlighting, through these initiatives, types of stakeholders, success factors and
obstacles, we will consider the replicability of local actions and their contribution to
global goals in the fight against climate change.
