When Geneva goes green

Climate change is here and the City of Geneva — as part of its official Climate Strategy — is actively responding by adopting numerous initiatives. These include: the pedestrianization and revegetation of city streets and building rooftops to combat urban heat islands; actions to reinforce biodiversity; developing an Eco neighbourhood; creating a new public park at the Pointe de la Jonction; planning and building the “voieVerte du Grand Genève” that’s exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists; and the creation of a new circular economy factory. To see some of these changes in person, we suggest exploring Geneva’s “Climate Trail”, an interesting and informative walking tour (4.4 km, or approx. 2 hours) that visits key sites along the route from the Cemetery of Kings to the Châtelaine industrial zone.
