This is one of the first steps for the new municipal team
Strasbourg is now officially under a state of climate emergency, the authorities informed on Sunday. Adopting the declaration was one of the first commitments of the new municipal team, headed by Mayor Jeanne Barseghian. In this way, the city administration wants to pave the way for innovation and to meet the expectations of the youth and all the inhabitants who have realized that it is necessary to act quickly to mitigate the effects of climate change.
The declaration was adopted as soon as the new local government was sworn in on Sunday. It thus placed Strasbourg on a prestigious list in the company of cities and institutions having adopted the same vision for climate change, including London (since December 2018), Paris (since July 2019), Barcelona (since January 2020) and the European Parliament (since November 2019).
With this document, the mayor explained that she completes one of her electoral promises. She also said that she wants to see this as the founding act of her term, which will affect all decisions and policies in the next 6 years. Jeanne Barseghian was the first person to sign the declaration and appealed to all councillors and citizens to follow her example.
