In an age when living, consuming and travelling need to be combined with environmental, ethical, social and compassionate considerations, Paris has embarked on a sustainable approach in a number of areas. Principal among these is tourism. Numerous initiatives define the sustainable face of what is the world’s leading tourist destination. Paris is linked to the rest of Europe via its six train stations. 21st century travellers get around Paris on public transport, but also by Velib’, by Autolib’, on foot, and share their car or a taxi; they eat organic and responsibly-sourced food, and make the most of the city’s 500 green spaces or regional parks in the Paris region. They prefer accommodation with an eco-label, readily seek out less well known areas of Paris to explore and enjoy meeting Parisians. They appreciate eco-design and related cultural institutions. Very soon, the reality of being a responsible tourist will be matched by that of professionals, major players in sustainable tourism. Paris is continually adopting new way of making the most of the natural, cultural and social resources it already possesses, for the long term. It helps hoteliers to opt for sustainable development by creating a self-diagnosis tool for their establishments, boosts the evolution of eco-districts, and encourages the development of biodiversity, as well as the many initiatives for urban transport and city lighting that respect the environment. Plus, the capital is continually promoting cultural, alternative, original, and ecological tourism, which is also tourism that is participative or with a social conscience. GETTING AROUND RESPONSIBLY > Paris has excellent rail connections to the rest of Europe With six train stations and a central geographic location in Europe, Paris already has all it takes to be a sustainable tourist destination easily reached by train, one of the cleanest means of transport around. The capital is only a few hours from the major European cities of London, Brussels, Basle, Cologne, Amsterdam, Geneva, and Frankfurt thanks to the TGV. By 2020, other European cities will be on average within three hours’ reach of Paris. >Public transport, the smart environmental option In Paris, tourists have access to a huge public transport network that offers smooth and pleasant travel, and which especially helps reduce car traffic. 89% of tourists get around the city by metro, 23% by bus, 16% by taxi, and 3% by bike. The Paris metro has 16 lines and is a quick way of getting around. To alleviate congestion on line 13, line 14 will be extended from Saint-Lazare to the Mairie-de-Saint-Ouen, in December 2017. The bus network has grown significantly and become more fluid since the introduction of designated bus lanes. The variety of lines crossing Paris from east to west and from north to south provides multiple possibilities for discovering the city. Some buses are now hybrid or electrically-powered vehicles, including the ‘Montmartrobus’ which, thanks to its route and charm, rivals the little tourist train of Montmartre! Then there’s the Noctilien, which meets the needs of nightbirds, enabling them to party in Paris into the early hours — with the assurance that an all-night public transport option is available to them!

> Metros for longer Although the Paris Métro may have already clocked up over 100 years, it couldn’t be more up-to-date! Each day, it fulfills the demand for sustainability in the capital a little more; a demand which means that public transport is favoured over private vehicles. This powerful symbol of the capital offers users 16 lines serving over 380 stops, with metros every two minutes during rush hour, every four minutes during off-peak and every eight minutes in the evening. It’s therefore very easy to get anywhere in Paris, with travel averaging about 20 minutes. To encourage ever greater numbers of Parisians and tourists to use the metro, the timetables have even been extended on Fridays, Saturdays and evenings before public holidays to 2.15am. On New Year’s Eve and the night of the Fête de la Musique, a number of lines (1, 4, 6, 9 and 14) operate until 5.30am, to cater for those staying out all night. NB the Ratp has launched an M21 research programme (metro of the 21st century), of which one of the avenues of innovation is concerned with sustainable development, in order to improve energy intensity and quality of urban life. www.ratp.fr > Non-motorized travel by bike or on rollerblades With 600 kilometres of bicycle paths, cycling is an important mode of transport in Paris. Whether renting a bike for the day from one of the capital’s cycle rental companies, or renting one of the 20,600 self-service Vélib cycles from a self-service automatic station, this non-motorized way of getting around is proving to be popular with Parisians and tourists: 40% of Parisian cyclists use Vélib’, making it a veritable institution in the capital. Since their introduction, more than 100 million cycle rentals have been made, from the 1,800 docking stations in Paris and in the 30 outlying areas. There are currently some 245,500 subscribers to the service. Vélib’ offers the simplicity of getting around above ground, the pleasure of an outdoor activity to explore Paris, and a clear conscience knowing that you are using a non-polluting means of transport. Between now and 2014, the cycle network should account for 700 kilometres of cycle lanes! Since last summer, online subscription and booking up to 15 days in advance means the rental can be safely paid for before coming to Paris. Also new: a Vélib application for Androïd smartphones can now be downloaded for free! Vélib, which celebrated its 5th anniversary in 2012, and which has just been awarded the Responsible Tourism Trophy in the eco-mobility category, has also significantly altered the image of the bicycle, which was previously considered somewhat outmoded. Now, cycling along the streets of Paris is seen as living in harmony with the city and oneself. Alternatives to the legendary two-wheeler include the traditional scooter as well as roller blades, and these are becoming increasingly popular in Paris too. Lastly, some districts usually reserved for motor vehicle traffic are even transformed at weekends into routes for more natural modes of transport (bicycles, roller skates/blades) and for pedestrians as part of the ‘Paris respire’ scheme, which takes place on the Seine, quaysides or in districts such as Montmartre or the Saint-Martin Canal. Vélib’ in all districts of Paris – www.velib.fr http://blog.velib.paris.fr/: great blog on cycling in Paris. www.deplacements.paris.fr Download a map of recommended cycling routes at www.paris.fr

> The tramway, still on a ‘green’ roll How can you get around town, while at the same time respecting the environment? As early as 2006, Paris produced its answer to that question: by tramway! The old boulevards of the Maréchaux sud are now crisscrossed every day by the city’s tramway n°3 - electrical, quiet, less polluting, regular, fast and reliable. Everyone appreciates it as a mode of transport and for its green and artistic setting. A trimmed lawn runs alongside the tracks, the pavements have been widened, a variety of tree species planted to embellish waiting areas and the works of contemporary artists like Sophie Calle or Franck O. Gehry grab the attention, so unexpected is their presence. The line will be extended from Porte de Vitry to Porte de la Chapelle in December 2012 and to Porte d’Asnières in 2017, completing an almost full circuit of the city. At the end of 2009, the tramway n° 2 was also extended, enabling users to travel from La Défense to the Porte de Versailles in around 30 minutes. In November 2012, line T3 was created contributing further to respect for the environment. www.tramway.paris.fr > The Seine more than ever in vogue The Batobus tourist river shuttle offers visitors an alternative to coach and bus tours with 8 stops to hop on and off at along the Seine. A ticket offers unlimited travel. www.batobus.com > Use an electric two- or three-wheeler Trying it means adopting it! Try out an electrically assisted bike, electric scooter, E-Solex, Segway or the latest in eco-mobility, the three-wheel electric scooter, or Trikke and feel the difference straight away. Silent, environmentally-friendly, practical and trendy, they are an easy and pleasant means by which to travel around the capital – with a clear conscience as well. NB as well as guided tours, Paris Trikkes now hires out its three-wheel electric scooters, on an hourly or daily basis. Alternative Bike 227 rue Saint Martin Paris 3rd – M° Arts et Métiers – www.alternative-bike.com Paris Trikkes 54 avenue de la Motte-Picquet, Paris 15th – M° La Motte-Picquet-Grenelle – www.paristrikkes.com Vélo Electro 39 and 50 rue Saint-Georges, Paris 9th – M° Saint-Georges – www.velo-electro.com Free scoot 144 bd Voltaire, Paris 11th – M° Voltaire – www.electro-scooter.com Holidays Bike 22-28 rue Henri Barbusse 94100 Clichy – www.holidays-bike.com Mobil Board Paris – www.mobilboard.com > Clean cars Nothing is lost, everything is transformed. And, rather than disappear, the car is undergoing something of a transformation. Paris already boasts initiatives which pre-empt this transition into a new era: in terms of taxis, some companies have converted to agrofuel or offer a fleet of hybrid vehicles, especially Taxis Bleus, turned into Taxis Green; Taxis G7 with the Green Cab fleet; and NEOCAB, luxury taxis offering various ways for travellers to respect the environment. In the same vein, My Magic Tour has created the electric City Car; this sharp-looking black-and-yellow vehicle will make you feel like you’re discovering Paris in a New York taxi! Electrical power is increasingly an option and recharging points are available throughout Paris for vehicles of this type,

both cars and two-wheelers. NEOCAB – www.neo-cab.com My Magic Tour – www.mymagictour.com Taxis Bleus – www.taxis-bleus.com Taxis G7 – www.taxisg7.fr > Cars and shared taxi Being an eco-tourist in Paris also involves having a social conscience in a variety of areas. The city of Paris encourages car-pooling which alleviates traffic congestion and helps protect the environment, and there are many car-pooling services online! In the same vein, Paris organizes car sharing and in 2007 created a label ‘Autopartage Paris’ (‘Carshare Paris’). Car sharing makes it possible to create a fleet of cars for occasional use by subscribers who are non-car owners. This is practical, cheaper and also ecological. A shared car replaces between four to eight private cars! Today, there are five companies with a label: Caisse commune, Carbox, ConnectbyHertz, Mobizen and Okigo, and parking places are reserved for their vehicles. Finally, the same trend applies to taxis: the G7 taxi company has launched Wecab®, a shared taxi service for airport transfers. Online payment and booking up to 3hrs in advance are possible. Plus, Wecab® technology makes it possible to find passengers making the same journey and guarantees a fixed price on booking, even if the vehicle is not shared. www.paris.fr www.wecab.com > Autolib’, the self-service electrically powered car service Building on the success of the Vélib’ system, a new self-service electrically powered car concept called Autolib was introduced in Paris in December 2011. The aim: to promote a new practical and ecological way of driving, for everyone. Paris’s 45 neighbouring communes are also part of this initiative. Tourists can now travel around the capital in an electrically powered car, and visit places such as Versailles while maintaining their environmental values intact! The 3,000 Bluecars, which have electric power steering, are silent and clean, they are parked in 1,100 stations and available 24/24 via a central assistance system. Registration to use the service is a quick and easy process which can be done online or at one of the Autolib’ kiosks or information centres. And the price is meant to be affordable. Plus, a subscription and lots of information are available via an iPhone application. www.paris.fr ACCOMMODATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS > The Charter for Sustainable Accommodation in Paris In June 2012, the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau, supported by Paris City Council, in partnership with ADEME Ile-de-France (the French Environment and Energy Management Agency), and in collaboration with Atout France, (the France Tourism Development Agency) and the hotel union UMIH created an auto-diagnostic tool in order to help hotels assess their ‘degree of sustainability’. Quick and easy to use, this free tool accessible on durable.parisinfo.com can make hotels more attractive to eco-conscious clients. Following on from this, hotels are invited to sign the ‘Charter for Sustainable Accommodation in Paris’ according to their performance, or to be helped on their way to doing this. Many of the big hotel chains (Accor, Best Western, Concorde

Hotel & Resorts, Esprit de France, Inwood Hotels, Marriott France, the hotels Emeraudes, the hotels Maurice Hurand, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, etc.) have already joined the programme. To help hoteliers to work towards sustainable development, the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau offers them the possibility of attending themed workshops that encourage dialogue between hoteliers and sustainable development experts on concrete solutions and how to put these into practice. More than 100 hoteliers assessed their sustainable development performance and 40 signed the Charter for Sustainable Development in Paris in spring 2013.

Signalling a commitment to sustainable tourism, green labels are awarded to tourist accommodation establishments that take into account the need to protect the environment. In Paris, four labels are already in use, rewarding those hotels which take the most proactive approaches to environmental management (water, energy, waste) and to raising the awareness of their guests. The Clef Verte (Green Key) is an international environmental label encouraging respect of the environment within the tourism industry; Green Globe relates specifically to tourism and works towards economizing water and energy resources, to reducing the operational costs of its members, supporting local authorities, and responding positively to the expectations of leisure and business travellers. The European Ecolabel is a Europe-wide system for certifying environmental quality. Finally, Earth Check is a label and system designed to help travel and tourism industry players to make the most of their operating efficiency, increase customer satisfaction and significantly reduce their impact on the environment.

ISO 9001-certified hotels guarantee quality management, backed up by the ISO 14001 standard, which is based on the continuous improvement of environmental performance. These establishments respect the principles of the standard in terms of environmental management, contributing to reducing to a minimum the effects of their activities on the environment and to permanently improving their environmental performance. In Paris, over a dozen IBIS hotels are ISO 14001-certified. Le Fouquet's Barrière, has obtained three certifications - SA 8000, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and the label Leading Green. ISO 14001

>The High Environmental Quality (HEQ) approach High Environmental Quality is a voluntary approach to the environmental quality management of construction developments and building renovation. It is designed to ensure control over the impact of buildings on the external environment and to create a satisfactory interior environment. The Novotel Paris Gare-Montparnasse was the first pilot HEQ hotel in France. The hotels in the Paris region to have received this certification include the Suite Hôtel Issy-les-Moulineaux and the upscale Mandarin

Oriental. The St. Christopher's Inn youth hostel has chosen the HEQ certification for its site, part of the renovation of the Magasins généraux on the Bassin de la Villette. A second hostel will open this year, opposite the Gare du Nord. A 2* B&B Hotel at Porte des Lilas will also be opening in 2013. Architect Dominique Perrault has designed a cylindrical building, overlooking a large garden area, which will have HEQ certification as well as an eco-environmental label.

>Staying with Parisians

Paris also contributes to the development of participatory tourism. The French capital offers bed & breakfast options that enable visitors to stay alongside Parisians, sharing their advice about where to go and tips for exploring the city. This high-quality accommodation in people's homes is guaranteed by two labels: 'Hôtes Qualité Paris', established in 2005 by the city of Paris, the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau and volunteer professionals, and 'Authentic B&B', a charter created by the Fédération des professionnels parisiens de la chambre d'hôtes (FPPCH), its members also subscribing to the Bureau. Since June 2008, Authentic B&B has been offering the first eco-friendly B&B accommodation. Apartment exchange is another option.

>Sleeping in a natural setting: ecological camping Camping out in a tent or staying in a wooden cabin or a caravan; opting for basic comfort in a green setting, which is environmentally friendly, is also a fine way of seeing Paris and the Paris region! The Bois de Boulogne campsite, the only one in Paris, is working towards being an ecological campsite with a number of measures: more greenery where tents are pitched, camping cars replaced by caravans or wooden chalets made of 100% ecological wood, renovation of buildings according to eco-concepts. These initiatives are being managed by the company Huttopia, which has already created an ecological campsite at Versailles. Also a good reason to discover the biodiversity of this exceptional wooded area.

FAIR, ORGANIC AND ETHICAL CONSUMPTION

>Fair-trade labels and directories

Online directories are useful and simple to use resources that provide information for visitors on where to find fair trade products. Le marché citoyen.net is the most comprehensive directory of shops and restaurants selling or using local, organic and responsibly-sourced products. The website also provides a wide range of information about numerous related subjects. After publishing Aimer Paris en hiver in 2011, Viatao Editions have published a new guide Aimer Paris en été, with more than 250 addresses. Essential resources for discovering Paris in a gentle and sustainable way!

>Ethical shopping Paris has few rivals when it comes to fashion, decoration and a range of products that promote fair trade and organic agriculture. Major retail brands with a presence in the city include 'Nature & Découvertes' and 'Artisans du monde', but there are also more discreet addresses, such as Ekyog. Eating or dressing ethically also means buying responsibly. Visitors will appreciate designer 'stock shops', but also second-hand clothes shops, charity sales, and jumble sales by various charity associations such as Macaq, Arcat or Emmaüs, as well as the inimitable Paris flea markets.

For fans of organic food there is no shortage of outlets in Paris that stock branded organic produce such as AB, Demeter, Bio européen or Nature & Progrès labels, for all budgets and all tastes. The luxury restaurant at the 4* Hôtel Lotti and the brasserie of the 4* Hôtel Lutétia offer delicious organic menus, and Cojean has a variety of organic offerings across its 17 Parisian restaurants. The Ferniot brothers' Boco offer an original concept, organic of course, but served in a preserving jar (bocal) in several arrondissements in Paris! Unique to Paris, the organic fast-food Bioburger, created by chef Marc Veyrat, has just opened in the Bourse district! Tourists and late-risers at the weekend will certainly love the organic brunches at the Hôtel Bel Ami or at eateries such as the Pain quotidien, Estaminet des Enfants rouges or even Bioboa. Foodies also favour the local economy and shop at the many organic markets or specialist stores such as the Biocoop network, which has nine outlets. In the same spirit of 'eating regional produce', the Boutique de Saveurs only sells products from French regional and national parks, branded ‘Parc naturel’. The first Parisian 'slow food' gelateria, Grom, offers ice creams made with only seasonal products cultivated in the region. Finally, some Parisian restaurants keep a close eye on what kind of fish they put on the table, and they prove it with the 'Mr Goodfish' label on their menu; this certification attests that the restaurateur does not purchase stock that was fished intensively or is a protected species Over the last few years an increasing number of cafes and restaurants have not only been promoting healthy eating, but have also been adopting a ‘social conscience’ with regard to their staff. Finally, you can make a charitable gesture without it costing you anything by using the website Alter-resto.com to book a table at a restaurant.

So you can enjoy a local product and support the environment! Paris has undertaken numerous initiatives amongst which the preservation of its many hives. The city has around 300 hives and the most well-known apiaries are those in Parc Georges-Brassens, the Luxembourg gardens, Parc Monceau, the Bois de Vincennes and at the Jardin d’Acclimatation.

OTHER WAYS OF DISCOVERING PARIS

>Discover Paris with the Parisians

What could be better than discovering Paris accompanied by genuine experts: the Parisians themselves! This alternative, more personal form of tourism often provides an opportunity to explore new districts, to establish a link between the daily life of Parisians and the life of visitors. For people to visit the capital in an alternative and original way, Paris City Council supports numerous activities open to all. The Paris Treasure Hunt, an event now in its seventh year, takes place every summer. Parisians and tourists explore the capital in this free and exciting game looking for clues. Paris Face Cachée reveals a hidden side of Paris, kept a secret, over three days of mystery and fun discoveries. The event Paris Les yeux fermés enables the public to experience Paris’s streets with their eyes bound in order to reflect on mobility in the public space. What’s more, through the Maison des Acteurs (for sustainable development initiatives) the Paris City Council offers, workshops, visits, talks and film screenings for all; these are listed on the website, on various themes including respect for the environment and the responsible behaviour of individuals. Finally, the Seine-Saint-Denis tourist board organizes all-year-round visits, workshops, urban tours, tours with local inhabitants to see the region in a different way. What’s more, since 2007, the festive event, ‘ Été du Canal – L’Ourcq en fêtes’ is an invitation to enjoy a multitude of shows, concerts, literary, heritage and architectural cruises in order to discover or rediscover the Ourcq Canal. www.acteursduparisdurable.fr www.bleucommeuneorange.com Ça se visite – www.ca-se-visite.fr Ma langue au chat – www.malangueauchat.com Meeting the French – www.meetingthefrench.com www.paris.fr www.paris.fr / tresordeparis.fr www.parisfacecachee.fr www.parislesyeuxfermés.fr Paris Macadam – http://parismacadam.fr Paris par rues méconnues – www.paris-prm.com Parisien d’un Jour, Parisien Toujours – www.parisgreeter.org Les Parisiens Associés – www.les-parisiens-associes.com Pour vous Paris – http://pour-vous-paris.com Promenades urbaines – www.promenades-urbaines.com Rollers et coquillages – www.rollers-coquillages.org www.tourisme93.fr

www.tresorsdeparis.fr www.voulez-vousDiner.com > Exploring artisanal traditions and know-how in Paris, and craftsmens' workshops. Seeing Parisians 'at work', practicing traditional ancestral and artisan professions, is a great way to discover the city from the inside. Les Ateliers de Paris, on Faubourg Saint-Antoine, regularly offers exhibitions in its gallery themed around artisan expertise in the contemporary age. Once a year, craftspeople in residence in the workshops open their doors to those interested in finding out more about their work. Agencies such as 'Meeting the French', too, offer access to the workshops and the opportunity to meet and talk with Parisians. Les Ateliers d'art de France, the largest professional grouping of artists and craft workers, has opened four spaces in Paris ‘at Opéra, at Etoile, in the Marais district, and at Bastille, where visitors can discover art works from exceptional artistic professions that respect quality charters. Some craftspeople also open their workshops to the public during Open Days in springtime. Finally, the most recent, the website Créativeparis.info shows you Paris in a different way through a programme of activities consisting of 400 creative workshops on fashion, design, science and technology, the visual arts, crafts, music, photography and much more.

The way most Parisians get about is on foot and this is also an alternative way in which to get to know the city and its environment. The Paris département hiking committee has created two trails, one 19 km and one 20 km, crossing the capital from West to East, from the Bois de Boulogne to the Bois de Vincennes and from North to South, from the Porte de la Villette to the Porte d'Arcueil. They have also invented the concept of the Panamées®, themed urban walks organized free of charge, on the third Thursday of each month. Combine the pleasure of walking with that of discovering the history of the sites along the way. If you just like to stroll, the Promenade plantée offers a pleasant walk along a planted trail over 4.5 km, from avenue Daumesnil to the ring road and features caves, waterfalls and many varied styles of architecture. www.rando-paris.org www.paris.fr

>Explore Paris in a leisurely way

Follow your guide on rollerblades, on foot, by bike or by taking a Segway or Trikke tour; this is the sustainable way to visit Paris as a tourist. Specialist guide agencies put together itineraries that enable you to get around using various means of ‘soft’ transport which have a neutral impact on the environment: by electrically powered scooter (Segway or the three-wheel Trikke) with Logic Way or Paris Trikkes Tour, by bicycle with Paris Bike tour, Paris à vélo c'est sympa, or on rollerblades with Paris comme sur des roulettes, Roulez Champions and most recently, by bike taxi, with Cyclopolitain, or Pédicab. The latter also offers a tour ‘Découverte de Paris’ which combines a tour with a food tasting. Visitors will also enjoy mingling with the crowds of Parisians who get together every week to go on rollerblading or cycling tours organized by Pari roller or Rollers et coquillages through the streets of Paris on Friday evenings and on Sundays. Finally, for those with a nostalgic yearning for 19th-century Paris, what better than a short tour at the gentle pace of a horse and carriage? Paris Calèches offers four tours, and can be considered a responsible tourism operator, since the company changes the team of horses every two days for their wellbeing. Ecological tours by Ecovisit are also much appreciated by tourists and raise awareness on ecological issues. Tours take the form of a guided tour in a hybrid saloon car accompanied by a guide who is a specialist in sustainable development and who over the course of one or two hours shows visitors Paris from a green and ecological angle: an original way of seeing the capital’s monuments, museums and famous avenues. Paris City Council also offers guided tours on different themes relating to the environment, like the biodiversity trail at the Parc Floral or the Week for an alternative against pesticides.

>Parisian parks and gardens and regional natural parks, green guaranteed

With its 500 parks and gardens, to which Parisians are particularly attached, the capital certainly has its share of greenery! And the city is also at the heart of one of the

largest eco-regions in Europe: Île-de-France (the Paris region). In fact, the Paris region is the second major tourist destination after Paris and offers 280,000 hectares of woodland with abundant and diverse flora, which attract some 90 million visitors each year. Within easy reach of the capital are four regional parks (parcs naturels régionaux - PNR): the Gâtinais, the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse, the Vexin and the Oise-Pays de France. www.iledefrance.fr www.paris.fr

>Disney launches its eco Villages Nature project just outside Paris

The giant Disney group has announced an ambitious eco-tourism resort to be built just outside Paris in partnership with Pierre & Vacances; the project is set to be unveiled by 2015 and gradually expanded over the course of 30 years. Named Villages Nature and based on the concept of a harmonious relationship between Man and Nature, the resort would round off the 500 hectares devoted to Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios parks in France. Planned to be Europe's largest water park, and to be built around a 3,500 m2 geothermal lagoon, it will include walking paths and horse riding trails, lakes, an organic farm and gardens; in addition it will offer several thousand units of tourist accommodation. Villages Nature will of course do everything to ensure it is an outstanding example for eco-tourism, reducing its carbon footprint to a minimum. www.disneylandparis.fr

>Paris’s commitment to sustainable development: the capital’s climate plan

The city of Paris has a firm commitment to the environment. The city adopted the Climate Plan on 1 October 2007 and since then has carried out a number of important measures to reduce greenhouse gas. Its objective? To reduce emissions by 75% in 2050, compared to 2004 levels. The Plan Climat Energie de Paris has already outstripped European objectives (20% in 2020) and predicts a reduction of 25%, even 30% in greenhouse gas emissions, general energy consumption and public lighting and energy consumption based on renewable energy. In order to do this, Paris created the Agence parisienne du Climat, in January 2011, whose mission it is to reduce the carbon footprint, through help to change current practices and behaviour, and uphold and promote renewable energy and responsible energy consumption. Another plan introduced by the Parisian administration or PDAP on getting around responsibly was also launched in 2011, and the first results of the Bilan Carbone de Paris have been published. In short, the City of Paris has a growing number of essential and efficient tools that enable it to know which are the most receptive sectors for their Climate Plan initiatives and what measures to take for the future. ‘Bleu Climat’, updated each year, gives updates on budgets, progress on actions carried out, and outlines initiatives for the future. In October 2012, the public were consulted over a revision of the Plan Climat Energie de Paris. Find out more: www.paris.fr and www.apc-paris.fr

>Paris, City of Light in an ecological era As with the Plan Climat Energie de Paris, the city has decided to reduce the consumption of public lighting by 30%. The challenge is great, but Paris, the eternal City of Light, has been able to adapt to current ecological demands. Lights on the Eiffel Tower were replaced by Master Son PIA 600 watt lights with a longer life. Since March 2012, the Montparnasse Tower Block has been lit up with electro-luminous diodes which are less polluting and which reduce energy consumption by 90%! Finally, at Christmas time the Champs-Élysées is a wonderful sight to behold for children and adults with 200 trees illuminated with LED light decorations over a distance of 2.5 kilometres. [The energy for these is produced by a solar energy plant that injects the same amount of energy into the EDF network over several weeks. This makes it the first Christmas lighting in France with zero energy consumption]. (Source: 20 minutes November 2012).

>Paris, one of Europe’s top green cities!

Since the study on Europe's green cities, published in 2009, Paris has been shown to be a leading city in terms of commitment to ecological issues. Taking all categories together, Paris ranks in the top 10 behind Brussels and ahead of London! And the capital comes first for the responsible use of land, notably for its 500 green spaces, managed and maintained by the council. And green spaces mean diversity. Paris, one of Europe's most densely populated cities, is nevertheless a natural central meeting point for wildlife to prosper. This biodiversity is due to the small number of predators, the existence of a wide range of welcoming environments and careful management of these. A great many emblematic places (the Petite Ceinture, Père Lachaise Cemetery, the wooded areas of Boulogne and Vincennes, the banks of the Seine and the canals) have proven especially rich or even unique in terms of biodiversity, owing to the wide range of species that have been able to adapt to urban development. The capital’s green spaces account for over 2,000 species of wild plants, mushrooms, mosses and lichens, and some 2,000 animal species; these fauna and flora can also be found in private spaces, on buildings, in roads, along waterways. And Paris is constantly introducing new initiatives like the creation of ponds for wildlife to prosper, planted rooftops, beehives, and gardens on terraces. Six new hectares of public gardens have been created since 2008. What’s more, there are guided tours, talks and publications for the public, and the Biodiversity Plan adopted on 15 November 2011 encourages wider public dialogue and participation via workshops for citizens. Under the plan, all Paris’s parks and gardens should be labelled by 2014.

>Paris and its ‘eco-districts’

Paris is expanding its 'green' lungs, thanks to an ecological and responsible approach to the development of existing spaces or the creation of new sites. Eco-gardens are planned in the Rungis urban development zone and at the Porte de Vanves, and the transformation of the Auteuil racecourse lawns continues, with the addition of a further 6 hectares. 2.3 kilometres of green and pedestrianized areas are being developed along the Seine quaysides. The Clichy-Batignolles district is gradually

becoming an 'eco-district', with new cycle paths and extended pedestrian areas in its centre. The park Clichy-Batignolles – Martin-Luther-King is to be extended to 10 hectares in 2016. The Cardinet-Chalabre urban development zone will become an eco-district, around a 10-hectare park which will house the future Palais de Justice (Paris law courts) in 2016. Architect Jean Nouvel's plans for the redevelopment of the Île Seguin include a 4-hectare garden, due to be completed in 2015, and the transformation of Les Halles is under way with the construction of its 'Canopy'. And in autumn this year, a new multi-purpose centre will open in the Beaugrenelle district (15th arrondissement), built using HEQ certified and BREEAM-assessed glass (Environmental & Sustainability Standard). These and future initiatives all confirm Paris's commitment to ecology and sustainability in the twenty-first century. Finally, Emmaüs has recently inaugurated an eco-building on the Quai de Valmy in the 10th arrondissement: its facade is entirely covered in photovoltaic solar panels. 40% of the energy used by this 7-storey building, which houses 47 social housing units, comes from natural light. The project is a flagship sustainable development initiative and has received the THPE (Très Haute Performance Energétique or Very High Energy Performance] quality label.

>Paris tourist institutions part of the business and public institution sustainable development club

A very special club was created in recent years, bringing together public institutions attentive to finding ways to make sustainable development part of the way they operate on a daily basis. The members of this club have established a charter to ensure that principles of sustainable development are implemented and initiatives optimized; examples of these initiatives include fighting global warming, efficient use and conservation of resources (water, energy, raw materials) and work relations and conditions. Several major players from the tourism sector have signed the charter: the Musée du Louvre, the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, the Musée Guimet, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and the RATP.

For several years now, numerous museums have been taking sustainable development initiatives into account in the way they operate. Such a museum is the Quai-Branly museum, which has from the start been designed according to HEQ standards and which functions entirely on this sustainable principle of recycling and energy saving. Similarly, the Fondation Louis Vuitton pour l’art contemporain, designed just outside Paris in Boulogne by Franck O. Gehry and due to open end of 2013/beginning of 2014 follows similar standards. The architecture is designed like a cloud in glass between the city and the forest. Some other collections, like those at the Musée d'Orsay, address environmental issues in workshops. It launched its 'Atelier de culture et du développement durable' (culture and sustainable development workshop) in 2010, to explain how the museum's initiative relates to the environment, the economy, social aspects and contemporary society in general. Finally, some museums also make sustainable development and ecology their main subject. At the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, the current need to protect the environment is shown through the great history of living things. The different exhibition spaces (the Grande galérie de l'Évolution, the Jardin des Plantes, the Galérie de Paléontologie et d'Anatomie comparée, the Galerie de Minéralogie et de Géologie,

the Ménagerie) raise awareness about the diversity of species, the importance of protecting them, evolutions in the past and the action to be taken in the future. At the Musée du Vivant, the first international museum for ecology and sustainable development, near to Versailles, the collections feature the works of sculptors, painters, photographers, film makers, designers, architects, etc. alongside scientific instruments, models of agricultural machinery, posters, photographs, films, a xylotech, stuffed animals, fossils ... as well as an experimental farm. Although the permanent collections are only open for visits by appointment, the institution also offers temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

>Two Parisian winners at the 2012 'Trophées du tourisme responsible'

The 'Trophées du tourisme responsible', organized by voyages-sncf.com, awards innovative sustainable development initiatives in the realm of tourism; an annual event for more than six years. It also more broadly recognizes 'operators that offer quality travel that is responsible, varied and diversified. Pleasure for all'. This year, three important Parisian operators received awards. The eco-mobility award went to Vélib’, and the Parisian hotel Hi-Matic, eco-accommodation based on the idea of cabin-style bedrooms, received the Urban Award. This hotel, designed by Matali Crasset had already received the Luxury and Zen award for Dar-Hi, her eco- and design hotel in Nefta, Tunisia.

>The Portes de Paris, playing a major role in a sustainable Grand Paris (Greater Paris) The Portes de Paris are a key to the Grand Paris vision - that of the city extending beyond today's limits to encompass the surrounding areas. These new spaces have all been designed taking into account new environmental requirements, and contributing to a sustainable Grand Paris. In the north of the capital, with the Halle MacDonald development, and in the east with the Porte des Lilas, architects and urban developers have been forward-looking to make Paris an environmentally-friendly city.

>Art and sustainable development, working together

Looking beyond Patrick Blanc's vertical gardens, recognized for their environmental benefits (insulation and improved air quality), which may be seen on the facade of the Musée du Quai-Branly, the Pershing Hall Hotel near the Champs-Élysées, or the BHV men’s department store, artists are engaging more and more with sustainable development issues. Two places in Paris enable visitors to follow artists' views on this theme: the Fondation EDF Diversiterre, a few steps from the Bon Marché department store, and the Laboratoire, a private foundation that links artists with scientists.

The Laboratoire organizes the awards ceremony for the COAL (Coalition pour l'art et le développement durable - art and sustainable development coalition) Prize, created in 2008, which is awarded to a contemporary artist who shows a concern for environmental issues, thus contributing to the emergence of a new culture of nature and ecology. Eco-design is also growing in importance and is a concept increasingly adopted by well-known and lesser-known designers alike, convinced that this is where the present and the future of the profession lies. And they're right! Matali Crasset offers visitors as well as Parisians a new kind of urban eco-accommodation in her Hi-matic hotel, which opened in Paris in 2011 and which was awarded the 2012 urban trophy for responsible tourism. This accommodation is original and ecological as goods can be bought from machines, the furniture is made from untreated wood, mineral-based paints have been used in the decor, and the 42 guest rooms are modular. And a wide range of unique design objects are on sale at the designer’s showroom, Lieu Commun. For visitors curious to find out more about the challenges of eco-design, exhibitions are organized at the Lieu du Design, a site created by the Île-de-France regional council to promote industrial design and eco-design. Finally, anyone who is passionate about the subject won't miss the opportunity to visit the Parisian eco-design agency Art Terre, which promotes the work of young eco-designers and which is underpinned by three principles: the use of recycled materials, employment initiatives that help people with difficulties get back into work, and locally-based production.

>Becoming an environmentally-aware event organizer

Business event organizers (conventions, seminars, etc.) can find all they need on this website to ensure their event is organized and managed in a responsible way. The social responsibility of companies or RSE is the new tool with which companies can

assess the social and environmental impact of their activity and thereby adopt better practice and contribute to the improvement of society and the protection of the environment. Global social labels and standards have been created to this end and may be consulted on the website Evénements 3.0. Evénements 3.0 is the leading reference on the market for responsible events and presents labelled service providers, solutions, innovations in terms of event planning that respects the environment and Man. Finally, through its information file ‘Paris, a responsible city’, the Paris Convention Bureau offers advice on organizing business meetings and gives a listing, by category of services, of the Parisian service providers that organize sustainable events.
