At a time when climate change is becoming humanity's main challenge, and 75% of the world's population lives in urban areas, GRAME is convinced that it is possible to build resilient communities that live in healthy, sustainable environments<\/b>. This is its raison d'\u00eatre, which it pursues with unabashed optimism<\/b>.

GRAME recognizes that climate change amplifies social inequalities, and that the most vulnerable populations are the most affected, and often the first, by climate change; it takes this into account in its decisions and contributes to greater environmental justice<\/b>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
