Paris and Vienna: Mayor Hidalgo honors climate protection in the golden book
On August 28, 2025, Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, ceremoniously entered into the Golden Book of the City of Vienna. This important act took place as part of a reception, which was organized by Mayor Michael Ludwig in the city council session of the Vienna City Hall. Ludwig emphasized the close relationships between Vienna and Paris, which have been deepened by a cooperation agreement since 2010. This agreement promotes information and experience, especially in the area of smart cities.
Anne Hidalgo, the first mayor of Paris since her election in 2014, has established herself as an international voice for liveable, just and sustainable cities. With over 500 climate plan measures, she set new standards in climate protection, one aspect that Ludwig also emphasized in his speech. Both cities are committed to being important actors in the fight against the climate crisis. Vienna strives for climate neutrality by 2040 and relies on circular economy and scientifically sound strategies.
Reinforcement of the city twinning
Hidalgo expressed her respect for Vienna, which she describes as a livable and modern city. It appreciates Viennese housing policy and recognizes parallels to the challenges with which Paris is faced. During her visit in Vienna, Hidalgo takes part in the international climate summit "Resilient Europe Summit", the aim of which is to develop strategies for climate adaptation and resilience at local and regional level.
The mayor was born in Spain in 1959 and emigrated to France in 1961. Hidalgo is an outstanding personality in the political landscape of France and beyond. Since her election in the City Council of Paris in 2001, she has significantly influenced the political landscape of the city and will not compete again in 2026 after two times.
History of the Golden Book
The Golden Book of the City of Vienna, in which Hidalgo has now been entered, was introduced in 1954 and serves to register high -standing foreign guests. The important entries of the past include visits to international sizes from politics, culture and science. Every year the book is enriched with new names and thus documents the care of international relationships.
Cities partnerships and the focus on climate protection play an increasingly important role in international urban development. As an example of such partnerships shows, Bonn has been based on cooperation with La Paz since 2002 to promote environmental awareness and sustainable development.
Overall, Mayor Hidalgo's visit underpins the close cooperation between Vienna and Paris in the area of climate protection and urban development. Their international perspective will gain importance during the climate summit in Vienna, while both cities share their common values and challenges.
