Overview of the project

Metropolitan Resilience Week 2023

As part of the definition of a resilience and risk management strategy, Bordeaux Métropole wanted to organize a resilience week co-constructed with local stakeholders. This animation program aimed to inform and acculturate elected officials, agents as well as the general public to climatic, natural and technological risks and territorial resilience to strengthen the power to act in the face of crisis situations and develop the capacity for resilience. of each one. Many formats were proposed: conferences and round tables, film debates, visits, serious games, exhibitions, participatory workshops. 49 events were organized throughout the country to raise awareness of risks and resilience on local issues such as land use planning, crisis management, housing and biodiversity. 50 partner contributors proposed and/or participated in the program. The mobilization was local but also national with the participation of actors such as SNCF, France Villes et Territoires Durables, AFPCNT. A European dimension was given with the participation of the Adaptation Mission of the European Commission and the cities of Munich and Bristol. This mobilization of stakeholders is a real asset for creating territorial dynamics and a common culture of resilience. Finally, Resilience Week was an opportunity to form the Citizen Reserve. Created by Bordeaux Métropole in 2023, the citizen reserve made up of around a hundred volunteer residents is committed to raising public awareness of major risks and strengthening support and assistance to populations in the event of a crisis or risky situation.

The Territorial Food Project

In order to bring coherence to all of the actions it carries out and to develop ambitions that match local challenges, Bordeaux Métropole has built, in collaboration with a group of stakeholders, its Territorial Food Project (PAT). This carries an ambitious action program of 45 thematic actions, which meet 12 political objectives. The Bordeaux Metropolis PAT aims to be systemic and integrative by addressing agricultural and food aspects in a transversal manner. Whether with neighboring territories, other local authorities (municipalities, department and region) and local agricultural and food stakeholders, collaboration is a key ambition of the PAT. The management of the PAT therefore relies on an innovative governance body – the Metropolitan Agricultural and Food Council (CAA) – designated to ensure its management in a multi-partnership approach with elected officials and local stakeholders. The Agricultural and Food Council is a collective and participatory body of actors concerned by agricultural and food issues, who co-construct strategies aimed at supporting the transition of the Bordeaux metropolis towards the emergence of a sustainable territorial food system. Today, the network with 5 years of experience has around a hundred member structures: education associations, municipalities and CCAS, catering and distribution players, agricultural players, neighboring territories, etc. This network and all the actions carried out over the past 5 years have led Bordeaux Métropole to the implementation of an operational program that constitutes the PAT, based on diagnostics and the sharing of common objectives of the agricultural and food system of our territory. .
