Bordeaux Métropole includes 28 municipalities over an area of 578.3 km², with a population of 814,049 (INSEE, 2019). The administration is involved in a wide range of areas, including mobility, economic development, metropolitan spatial planning, environmental policies.
Committed to the ecological and energy transition since 2009 with its first Climate action plan, Bordeaux Métropole has made climate emergency one of its top priorities. Between 2010 and 2019, local greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1 and 2) fell by 11% (source: ALEC). The current metropolitan team wishes to reinforce and accelerate the low-carbon transition and resilience in the face of climate change.
In September 2022, Bordeaux Métropole adopted a new Territorial Climate Air Energy Plan (Plan climat air energie territorial PCAET), aimed at achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. This ambitious planning document is in line with the French regulatory expectations of the National Low Carbon Strategy (Stratégie nationale bas-carbone - SNBC) and the regional plan for regional planning, sustainable development (Schéma régional d'aménagement, de développement durable et d'égalité des territoires - SRADDET). The PCAET aims to achieve carbon neutrality by offsetting 100% of its residual emissions (scope 1 and 2).
The Metropolis also aims to reduce the territory's carbon footprint (scope 1, 2 ,3) by 79% between 2019 and 2050, cut by 2 energy consumption and almost double the production of renewable and recovered energy. The PCAET also plans a 100% compensation of residual emissions (scope 1,2)
