On July 11, 2025, the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis adopted the France Rénov’ territorial pact. This initiative marks an important step in structuring local housing and ecological transition policies. It relies on a new one-stop service designed to better support residents. A one-stop service to meet multiple needs
The Metropolitan Council of July 11 approved the transformation of the metropolitan energy renovation service. It becomes the Ecological Transition Service. This change is part of the France Rénov’ territorial pact, signed with the State and the National Housing Agency (Anah).
This service combines several existing programs (France Rénov’, OPAH, PIG). It broadens its scope to include issues related to climate change. It is no longer just about energy renovation, but also adapting buildings, water management, and sustainable mobility.
Three pillars structure this new tool. The first focuses on information. It gathers the available aids and directs residents to the right contacts. The second aspect involves project support. It offers customized engineering, from renovating homes to creating cool zones. Finally, the third pillar targets local engagement. Sessions will be held in the municipalities, and training will be offered to officials and technicians.
Since its creation, the previous service has funded diagnostics for 4,500 homes and eliminated oil heating in 600 homes. These actions totaled an investment of 620,000 euros. The Metropolis was recognized as the Organizing Housing Authority in May 2023.
A territory in transition serving climate and housing needs
The challenge of the new service goes beyond mere energy improvement. It also aims to address concrete issues: aging population, energy poverty, vacant housing. The service is aimed at individuals, officials, and industry professionals alike.
This initiative is part of a broader metropolitan policy. Since 2007, the Metropolis has been active in producing and rehabilitating public housing. It also develops large-scale urban projects. The Parc Méridia neighborhood, the future Nice-Airport multimodal station, and the Haliotis 2 wastewater treatment plant are examples.
Moreover, the extension of the Paillon Promenade and the greening of public spaces demonstrate efforts to reclaim urban nature.
By bringing together local stakeholders and simplifying procedures, the Ecological Transition Service aims to become a recognized entry point for everyone. The Metropolis intends to guide residents towards more economical and sustainable choices without excluding the most vulnerable.
