Paris Deputy Mayor Dan Lert, responsible for ecological transition, climate policy, water, and energy, addresses the critical need for climate adaptation in Paris. Anticipating temperature peaks up to 50°C in the coming years, the city aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 with an 80% emissions reduction from 2004 levels. This ambitious strategy, which places social justice at its core, earned Paris a UN Global Climate Action Award in 2021 but faces significant logistical and regulatory hurdles.
