Nantes European Green Capital 5 years report nantesmetropole.fr Nantes Métropole, a local area committed to the ecological transition Aware of the ecological urgency and the responsibility of cities to provide solutions, Nantes Métropole has been committed to sustainable development for 15 years, a commitment marked by the award of the European Green Capital title in 2013. Since then, following the major energy transition debate, Nantes has stepped up and taken a new direction by effec- tively involving the local area and all its stakeholders in the ecological transition, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, preserve the environment and its citizens' quality of life. This sustainable development report aims, this year, to take stock of Nantes Métropole's achievements in the ecolo- gical transition, whether they concern energy efficiency and renewable ener- RUaud Martial © gies, sustainable mobility, waste issues, nature in the city or the quality of daily We know that on these subjects, we will Johanna Rolland life. go further if we act collectively, mutually President of Nantes Métropole The outlook is closely linked to the Energy enriching each other with the good prac- Transition Roadmap adopted last February tices developed in other cities.
