reuters.comParis Expands Urban Forests to Fight Climate Change
Paris is transforming its urban landscape by replacing concrete with vegetation to reduce heat, improve biodiversity, and adapt to climate change. In June 2025, the city opened its third major urban forest near Hôtel de Ville, removing 2,500 m² of paving and planting 150 trees along with thousands of plants. The initiative aims to cool the city, improve air quality, and create more permeable green spaces. Paris plans to plant over 170,000 trees by the end of 2026 to become one of Europe’s most wooded capitals: https://eurocities.eu/latest/there-is-a-will-and-a-way-to-green-paris/

europol.europa.euOpen source - Help communities organize
I’m exploring an open-source civic platform to help ordinary people, workers, residents, and local communities organize around real problems.
The idea is simple: create a group, discuss a concrete issue, vote on proposals, and generate a clear report that can be sent to councils, employers, regulators, companies, unions, or other decision makers.
The goal is to give people better tools to improve common spaces, protect workers’ interests in the AI era, and shift some lobbying power away from only big companies and organized groups.
It’s not meant to replace unions, associations, or political parties. It’s more like civic infrastructure for turning scattered frustration into organized action.
Right now the repo is very early: mostly README files, plans, concepts, MVP notes, and idealizations.
I’m looking for people who want to help shape and build it. If you’re interested in contributing, I can share the GitHub.
