The Biodiversity & Climate program


Biodiversity is indispensable for equilibrium in the life of human beings: it affects the production of factors that are essential for our life, our economy and our well-being. Creating propitious conditions for fauna, flora and every living creature to develop harmoniously and fighting the consequences of climate change are indispensable commitments.

 

Biodiversity

 

 

Aware of these issues, the Corporate Foundation accompanies GDF SUEZ in its drive for responsible growth.

 

The principles of the program:

 

  • preserve fauna and flora, particularly in urban environments,
  • participate in the fight against the effects of climate change,
  • support projects for reforestation and the preservation of threatened species.

 

 

Examples of projects

Princess Elisabeth Polar Station  
Princess Elisabeth Polar StationInaugurated in 2009, the Princess Elisabeth Polar Station is the home base for scientific research expeditions (meteorology, seismology, magnetism etc.). In addition to being at the cutting edge of knowledge about climate change, the station meets the challenge of functioning only with renewable energies! An exceptional project supported by the GDF SUEZ Foundation since 2004.

 

Reforestation in China  

Yangtze RiverThe Yangtze river, in the Three Gorges region, is the longest river in Asia and its landscapes have inspired numerous Chinese artists. However, its ecological environment is very fragile. The GDF SUEZ Foundation supports the China Green Foundation in its action for the preservation of the environment and its reforestation projects along the river.
