Scientists are now seriously considering a warming of 4 ° C in France by 2100. Some cities will suffer more than others. How do municipalities are preparing for this problem?

A fountain and a few trees difficult to alleviate heat. Aix-en-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône) could by 2100 be the city most affected by global warming with almost a month more per year at more than 35 ° C. According to forecasts from Météo France, by 2100, Aix-en-Provence could earn more than 4.8 ° C, Albi (Tarn) 4.9 ° C, or Alès (Gard) 4.8 ° C. The cities of the South risk, by the end of the century, may suffer more than the cities of the North and especially from the West.

But it is the whole country that should change with up to more than 4 ° C everywhere in France. In 2100, Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) should have the same climate as Seville, Lyon (Rhône), the equivalent of Rome or Paris de Montpellier (Hérault). Municipalities are thus trying to adapt. In Gironde, a white paint based on oyster shells is tested to repel much more intense heat on bitumen.
