La Nuit est belle 2021

Second edition of “La nuit est belle!”

The second edition of “La nuit est belle!” will be held on Friday 21 May 2021 on the theme of nocturnal biodiversity. Under a three-quarter moon, the public lighting will remain switched off in numerous municipalities in the Greater Geneva area, including all the municipalities within the city. This action aims to make the population aware of the effect of light pollution on living organisms, while giving people the chance to rediscover the starlit sky.

Thanks to an intensive planting operation, some 533 trees have been added to the city’s heritage

In the wake of the new approaches adopted by the City’s Parks and Gardens Department (SEVE) with regard to the management of trees, the aim of planting 500 new specimens has been exceeded. The aim is to enhance the quality of life in the different districts while increasing resilience to climate change. Tools providing the population with better information have been developed along with an awareness programme.

Comédie de Genève

La Comédie meets the community through the local social outreach centre

Even before its official inauguration, la Comédie de Genève has developed a number of projects with a view to meeting the inhabitants of its new home, the district of les Eaux-Vives. To make the institution an integral part of the city, an activities programme will be organised from 9 to 15 May 2021, both in the building and outside. Focussing on community life and the day-to-day artistic and social ties forged with the theatre, these events are founded on outstanding collaboration with artists and partners in the field.

Climate emergency: the City takes measures to reduce CO2 emissions

Fully aware of the role it is to play in fighting climate change, the City of Geneva is taking action and encouraging the entire population to participate in the ecological transition process. While a global strategy will be adopted by the end of the year, the City’s response to the emergency is to take a series of measures which can be implemented quickly with a view to reducing its carbon footprint, fostering biodiversity and accompanying changes in our practices.
