The Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis wins the Mobility Award at the Zero Carbon Forum, thanks to its “Conversion Incentive” project. The forum annually rewards municipalities that take measures to support residents in transitioning to green mobility.
“I would like to warmly thank the organizers of the Zero Carbon Forum for awarding us the 2021 Mobility Award, which honors our new Conversion Incentive measure to support everyone in decarbonizing mobility,” announces Christian Estrosi, the mayor of Nice.
The creation of a €1,000 conversion incentive is what earned the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis the Mobility Award at the Zero Carbon Forum.
“This award recognizes our commitment to assisting everyone towards decarbonized mobility, a vision I have for Nice as the definitive Green and Blue city of the Mediterranean,” the mayor of Nice proudly states.
