Located in central France within the Auvergne volcanic region, Clermont-Ferrand is an inland city surrounded by mountains and natural landscapes. With a population of around 150,000 in the metropolitan area, it is known for its industrial heritage, research institutions and long-standing connection to the mobility sector, particularly through tyre manufacturing. Clermont-Ferrand has a semi-continental climate, with warm summers, cool winters and growing exposure to heatwaves and periods of drought. Water stress and overheating in dense urban areas are becoming more visible climate concerns.
Climate action in Clermont-Ferrand is closely tied to economic transition and urban resilience. The city faces pressure to modernise transport, reduce emissions from buildings and adapt public spaces to hotter conditions, while maintaining its industrial and research base. Its approach combines long-term planning with experimentation, drawing on local technical expertise and partnerships between public authorities, universities and businesses.
Key priorities include sustainable mobility, energy-efficient renovation and the expansion of green infrastructure across the city. Clermont-Ferrand is also investing in public transport and cycling while rethinking urban spaces to improve comfort during extreme heat. Its climate strategy reflects a broader effort to connect environmental goals with innovation, health and the future of local industry.
