Prohibiting car use during holidays

Anne Hidalgo، Head of Paris Municipality، announced a plan to transform Paris into a green and environmentally friendly city، especially after the temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celsius several times، causing forest fires to break out in southwestern France and the evacuation of hundreds of people from their homes.

Measures to confront climate changes

The French government has to take some measures because of these climate changes to reduce the risks of high temperatures، particularly in the capital، Paris، as the rate of its energy consumption   decreased by only 5% in the last 15 years، despite plans to reduce it to 25%.

Providing all Paris residents with renewable energy

Regarding sustainable transportation، a project will be launched to encourage bike mobility and reduce the use of cars in Paris، where about 130 km of additional bike paths will be allocated until 2026، while preventing driving cars during holidays، and reducing traffic routes from 4 to 3 routes.

The municipality of Paris strives، through the plan، to reduce temperatures with the green belt project، which depends on planting trees on the road around the city، to reach 17 thousand trees by 2026 to act as natural coolers، and to cover all school yards with plants to mitigate the repercussions of climate change by 2050.

Thermal insulation plan

In addition to thermal insulation plan for the roofs of residential buildings، it succeeded in reaching 55 thousand apartments، while this measure saves 54% of energy، reduces heat emissions by 56%، and makes buildings environmentally friendly.
