Prior to the adoption of the 2018 Climate Action Plan, the city of Paris has conducted a study to assess the socio-economic impacts of the energy and climate transition. The study analyzed a range of individual, economic, social, and political impacts resulting from the key actions outlined in the Climate Plan. It also examined their effects on employment, well-being, equity, and overall balance across the city. The findings of the study revealed that many measures implemented under the Paris Climate Plan will contribute to enhancing the well-being of citizens by improving the quality of their immediate environment. This, in turn, is expected to have positive impacts on both physical and psychological health. These improvements are likely to foster support for the Climate Plan among citizens and increase their willingness to actively contribute to its success. Additionally, the City of Paris conducted in 2021 a resilience and vulnerability diagnosis in the context of climate disruption, using the latest scientific climate change models. Lastly, the City of Paris is working to Identify areas of environmental health fragility. The findings of this assessment provide support for the policies outlined in the Paris Climate Plan, particularly in terms of adaptation measures. These include greening the city, strengthening water management strategies, promoting solidarity towards vulnerable populations, and controlling water consumption.In Attached: ParisInTheFaceOfClimateChange [EN]The city regularly conducts city-wide studies on various equity-related topics such as: Update demographic, economic and social data for Paris, to understand gender gaps and trends.In Attached: Gender inequality in Paris [FR]Report on the implementation of actions in working-class neighbourhoods. In 2021, an analysis was carried out and confirmed the narrowing of certain social gaps between the population of those neighbourhoods and that of Paris over the recent period (social indicators, educational success, economic dynamism, living environment), while at the same time indicators of precariousness remain high and gaps in employment and professional integration persist. The workshops also highlighted a number of issues that are becoming increasingly important in working-class neighbourhoods, including environmental health.In Attached: The frame of reference for evaluating the 2015-2022 Paris City Contract [FR]Quantification of jobs linked to the circular economy in Paris.Circular economy helps combat climate change by reducing CO2 emissions from economic activities. It goes hand in hand with the development of new modes of production and consumption, generating new activities and creating sustainable jobs that cannot be relocated. That's why the job creation made possible by the development of the circular economy in Paris, and the resulting creation of value, have been defined as monitoring indicators for the Paris Circular Economy Plan. The quantification of jobs linked to the circular economy in Paris (document to be consulted as an attachment to the response) makes it possible to estimate the number of jobs in Paris at 66,500 FTE (full-time equivalent) in 2016. They represent 2.9% of Parisian jobs and generate an annual added value of 7 billion euros.In Attached: Circular Economy Quantifying jobs [FR]Since the adoption in 2016 of the Paris Environmental Health Plan, Health Impact Assessments (HIA) have been made. HIA is a science-based decision-making process that incorporates participatory approaches whenever possible. It helps contextualize research data and facilitates the implementation of projects by enhancing their legitimacy and social acceptability. HIA allows all stakeholders involved in a policy or project to address the social, economic, and environmental issues that may impact health and well-being. The main objective is to take into account health issues in the new urbanism projects, directly from the inhabitants, theirs needs and habits.
