Summary

In 2024, the Lyon metropolitan area and the municipal council launched a strategic initiative focusing on environmental excellence through vibrant community events. The 200-year-old JEER (Jean-Eugène Roudier) movement has been reactivated for its sixth edition, featuring a full program of discussions, atelier sessions, and workshops tailored to sustainable practices, culture, and the sport. By 2024, over 147 events have been organized, which have contributed significantly to generating 200 millions of euros in environmental value. Residents have experienced 5 million people interacting with the city's activities during these events, fostering a deep sense of community responsibility. The initiative also aimed to reduce waste by collecting and valorizing 49 million tons of plastic waste.

The focus of this action is to encourage young people to support the environment through local activism, including marches in Corpeau, Puligny-Montrachet, and Blagny-Cte-d'Or. These events are designed to educate the public and drive a behavioral change. Additionally, the council is preparing for the 2025 finale of the competition "France Sengage," where Aremacs has been selected as a finalist, demonstrating their commitment to responsible action. This dedication is further evidenced by the Aremacs team actively mobilizing in streets, ensuring a cleaner city through their dedicated brigade of waste handlers.

The city emphasizes integrating nature and culture into urban planning, with a special focus on the 6th JEER festival. The 6th edition, scheduled from November 29 to 30, 2023, at Lyon, centers on the transition to a green environment within these sectors. The event will host discussions and workshops designed to empower residents to take practical steps toward a more sustainable future. As part of this broader campaign, the city has implemented a 'zero waste' accommodation model for the event, ensuring every guest contributes to the city's circular economy goals. By doing so, the city aims to transform the city into a vibrant hub where environmental stewardship becomes the cornerstone of urban identity.
