Residents from the 21 municipalities surrounding the Étang de Berre have until November 21, 2026, to apply and join an initiative that places residents' voices at the heart of territorial considerations. The RÉPONSES initiative gathers the concerns and expectations of residents regarding health and the environment, particularly concerning air pollution and greenhouse gases, to provide concrete responses.
To achieve this, RÉPONSES brings together stakeholders involved in these issues: associations, local authorities, state services, industries, employees, and experts. Together, they work to implement actions that address the concerns expressed by residents. Your experience of the territory is valuable.
The Citizen College allows residents to share their observations, questions, and perspectives on locally implemented actions addressing air quality and climate challenges. No specific expertise is required; lived experiences, testimonials, and citizen viewpoints enrich the discussions.
Members are invited to give their opinion on actions implemented in the territory; participate in an annual day of exchange and dialogue with stakeholders; and contribute throughout the year to various activities: visits to industrial sites, meetings with local stakeholders, thematic presentations, or working groups.
Any person residing or working in one of the 21 municipalities around the Étang de Berre, wishing to be informed or involved in air quality and climate issues, and desiring to contribute to collective reflection for the territory, can apply. To ensure freedom of expression and independence of exchanges, individuals holding elected office or associative responsibilities cannot join the Citizen College.
Applications are open until November 21, 2026, via the online form: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/0MzycLdPnn.
The next annual meeting of the Citizen College will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2026, in Martigues. This day will allow participants to exchange with local stakeholders and share their opinions on the actions implemented to address residents' concerns.
