If you live or work in Monaco, you know that His Serene Highness Prince Albert II has been a global leader in the fight to protect our planet and that the principality has taken important steps to reduce its carbon footprint. These include creating eco-friendly methods of transportation, switching to renewable energy sources and managing waste, particularly plastics.
But we need to do more and we need your help.
Working with other world leaders, Prince Albert and the Monaco government have made it a national priority to reduce the principality’s carbon footprint by half by 2030…and to be carbon neutral by 2050! That means that we must all join in and double, triple and even quadruple our efforts to be good eco-citizens. To achieve these goals we must all act together to protect our environment, while improving our quality of life and preserving our health. This means adopting new habits, using clean energies and controlling our waste.
Together we can do this! Since early 2016, Monaco’s government has worked with business leaders, educators, builders, energy suppliers and health and tourism organisations to create a national strategy to cut our overall carbon footprint. This strategy targets our main source of greenhouse emissions: transportation, waste treatment and energy use in buildings.
They have also introduced a National Pact for the Energy Transition where every individual who lives or works in Monaco can commit to steps that will reduce its own carbon footprint and to help meet these goals.
The steps needed to sign the Pact, measure your own carbon footprint and create your own action plan are easy. In addition, you’ll also be able to easily track your progress and see results.
Most of the tools you’ll need to get started are on the website www. transition-energetique.gouv.mc. These include a calculator with 10 easy questions to estimate your carbon footprint based on what kind of vehicles you use, how you heat your house and how much waste you produce and how you dispose of it. It’s simple and quick.
Once you know the size of your carbon footprint, the site will help you choose a simple action plan to reduce it. The steps are simple: Can you take the bus more often or carpool to reduce carbon emissions? Can you recycle old clothes and separate your paper, glass and plastic trash? Can you better control your home heating and air conditioning? Can you shut off computers when not using them? These simple steps and other small actions you can take to reduce waste and unnecessary energy use can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
Where practical, some homeowners can also agree to install renewable energy sources such as solar panels. If this includes you, the Energy Transition website has a special tool which can estimate the solar energy potential at your address and describes the special subsidies and cost savings possible.
Prince Albert II was the first person to sign the National Pact for the Energy Transition. Please join him today and help us cut Monaco’s carbon footprint in half over the next decade.
You can learn more about the Pact, create your action plan and register your commitment directly on the Energy Transition website. Thank you for your support for Monaco and the Planet. Together we will make the difference!
