 Commitment to an energy and climate policy : a 2007-2010 programme with
actions in 6 certification areas
 Quantifiable objectives, set and adopted by the City Council on
18 December 2006
 Attribution of the Cit’ergie eea® label on18 December 2007 : Besançon
obtains 56.5 %

Interreg III B
Alpine Space Programme

Experimentation around the idea of applied commitment

Our ideas or feelings do not do so.
Commitment can be seen only
through our conduct”.

partners
• Exposure to new ideas concerning mobility
• Financial benefits
…at the same time: the need for careful oversight of the project
Monthly activity reports,
Annual budget certification
