Agency for Ecological Transition
ADEME - the French Environment and Energy Management Agency - is resolutely committed to meeting the major challenges of climate change and resource conservation. On all fronts, the agency mobilizes citizens, economic players and local authorities, giving them the means to move towards a resource-efficient, low-carbon, fairer and more harmonious society.
In all fields - energy, air, circular economy, food waste, waste, transport, soil... - ADEME advises, facilitates and helps finance numerous projects, from research to the sharing of solutions. It supports public policy by making its expertise and foresight capabilities available.
ADEME is a public establishment under the authority of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Solidarity and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation. It is with this in mind that the Hauts-de-France regional office is a player and contributor to the Third Industrial Revolution/Rev3 led by the Hauts-de-France Region and the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
