André Viola

Elected in the Departement of Aude and president of a community of communes, two communities located in Occitanie on the Mediterranean rim, we find ourselves on the front line to observe and measure the impact of climate change on the life of the territory and of its population.

We are experiencing more and more fires, floods and other disasters which in turn lead to environmental, economic and social consequences that are increasingly difficult to repair. As an elected official close to my fellow citizens, I am now confronted daily with the need to provide answers, to initiate new ways of developing resilient public policies, to innovate to free up resources in a context of strong constraints. financial.

I also have a strong personal commitment to the issue of water - access to drinking water and the preservation of the resource which constitutes a vital common good for all. In this capacity, I also act within the framework of decentralized cooperation, particularly to support the achievement of SDG6. As a Member of the Committee of the Regions, and as Ambassador of the Climate Pact, I intend to strengthen and share my action to help build a more sustainable Europe
