ADEME, the French Agency for Environment and Energy Management has recently launched a new web site on territorial climate and energy information.

The new website, www.pcet-ademe.fr, has been launched in the frame of “The Environment Round Table (La Grenelle Environnement)”, which invites all communities with more than 50 000 inhabitants to establish a Territorial Climate-Energy Plan (PCET).

This site aims at facilitating the implementation of the Territorial Climate Energy Plan and acts as a unique database identifying information and useful tools for the concerned communities.

The site is divided into 4 main sections: the “methods” section, which presents an overview  on the PCETs and on the necessary steps for their implementation and financing; the  “actions” section illustrates the main fields where action against climate change should be taken; “tools” gives information on management and communication tools and introduces reference documents, while the section “observatory” monitors the actions so far taken and constitutes a  discussion reference point for the communities through forums and newsletter.
