The City of Dunkirk, situated along the picturesque northern coast of France, stands at a pivotal moment in its quest for climate neutrality by 2030.

 

As we embark on crafting the 2030 Climate Neutrality Action Plan, it's imperative to delve into our local geographic and policy context, as well as the significant gap we endeavor to bridge. Dunkirk's landscape, both geographically and industrially, shapes the contours of our climate aspirations. Historically entrenched as a significant energy consumer and emitter of CO2, particularly within our industrial basin, our territory bears the weighty responsibility of transforming its consumption and decarbonizing across all dimensions.

 

Currently, the industrial sector within our territory alone contributes to 21% of France's industrial CO2 emissions and a staggering 85% of our region's greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, industry accounts for nearly 80% of our energy consumption. Recognizing these challenges, Dunkirk has embarked on a robust territorial climate and energy strategy, underlined by the recent adoption of the 2022-2028 Territorial Climate Air Energy Plan (PCAET). This strategic roadmap sets forth ambitious targets, aiming to slash energy consumption by 46% and greenhouse gas emissions by 79% by 2050.

Net-zero Urban-industrial Growth - Dunkerque pilot activity

NZUIG is testing a fundamental rethink of industrial development in Dunkirk's large industries zone: "factories without car parks. " New facilities led by Verkor, are being designed from the outset without employee parking, relying instead on public transport, cycling infrastructure, carpooling, and employer mobility plans to serve thousands of future workers. Year 1 delivered tangible early results. The Rapid'Ouest bus service launched in September 2024, growing from 45 to 180 daily boardings within months, with satisfaction rates above 89% across all measures. A 300- space park-and-ride opened in May 2025, 11 electric buses were ordered, and cycling "green corridors" are under development. An inter-company mobility plan is being built across the Verkor ecosystem.
