-          a review of the actions taken by the Prince’s Government six years following publication of the White Paper, presented by Annabelle Jaeger-Seydoux, Director of the Mission for Energy Transition;

-          a policy diagnosis set out by Céline Caron-Dagioni, who said: “2030 is seven years away. That’s soon. So we need to step up our efforts and our collective creativity to spread the word even wider and persuade all those who have not yet been fully convinced of the urgency of our approach.” Ms Caron-Dagioni then focused on the support available to the Monegasque community in meeting the challenges we face;

-          a speech by the Minister of State on the Government’s commitment and the launch of the Government Pact to strengthen the example that it sets: “The Government must set an example (....) At all levels of the State, staff are committed to daily acts that help to control consumption and save resources”;

-          accounts from representatives of civil society, who described their vision of the future in their respective fields. Marie-Gisèle Fringant, President of the Junior Chamber International; Virginie Bernard, CSR Director at CFM Indosuez and Gabriel Viora, President of the Association of Architects;
