Raphaël CAROSSI La Fondation de Monaco a participé à la 1ère table ronde du cycle « La Cité de l’avenir », lancé par le Directeur du Collège d’Espagne, M. Justo ZAMBRANA PINEDA, à l’occasion du centenaire de la Cité internationale universitaire de Paris (CIUP), célébré cette année.Cette 1ère rencontre sur l’écologie a été organisée le 5 juin, date de la « Journée mondiale de l’environnement », sur le thème « Pour un modèle du vivre ensemble qui contribue à l’équilibre de la planète ». Mme Martine GARCIA MASCARENHAS, Directeur de la Fondation de Monaco, a rappelé à cette occasion l’engagement de la Principauté dans la lutte contre les changements climatiques et l’objectif de neutralité carbone à l’échéance 2050, alors que 2025 marque le 10ème anniversaire de l'Accord de Paris. Elle a souligné le rôle clef du secteur du bâtiment dans la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et la création, en 2016, de la Mission pour la transition énergétique.Deux représentants du Gouvernement Princier – Mme Pauline CAILLOUET, conductrice d’opérations pour le Service de Maintenance des Bâtiments Publics, et M. Raphaël CAROSSI, énergéticien du bâtiment à la Mission pour la Transition Energétique - ont participé à la table ronde animée par Mme Stéphanie DEMBACK-DIJOUX, Directrice et formatrice-conseil en transformation des organisations et Adjointe au Maire du 19ᵉ arrondissement de Paris. Ils ont ainsi pu détailler des solutions innovantes mises en place en Principauté, notamment la démarche « Bâtiments Durables Méditerranéens de Monaco » (BD2M), l’installation de panneaux photovoltaïques respectant le patrimoine architectural comme au Lycée Albert Ier, des modèles de gestion technique centralisée dans des bâtiments de vie collective comme des écoles et le concours de réduction des consommations énergétiques des bâtiments « MonaCUBE », à vocation pédagogique. Devant un public composé majoritairement de résidents de la CIUP, trois enjeux majeurs ont été abordés au cours des échanges : • « Rénover sans trahir : le bâti ancien à l’épreuve de la transition » : un sujet d’actualité pour la Fondation de Monaco qui connaîtra la fin de la mise en œuvre du Plan de relance de la Cité et de son Programme de rénovation énergétique d’ici septembre après trois années de travaux ; • « Le parc : biodiversité, paysages et climat » : la Cité occupe en effet un espace éco-responsable de 34 hectares au large patrimoine paysager qui constitue un réservoir de biodiversité ;• « Les usages : comportements, gouvernance et engagement » : enjeu déterminant pour les 12 000 étudiants et chercheurs internationaux accueillis chaque année sur le campus dans ses 47 maisons.Les conclusions de cette table ronde seront intégrées à la « Déclaration du centenaire » de la Cité qui clôturera le programme officiel en décembre prochain.

The Embassy of Monaco in Germany convenes its Honorary Consuls in Vienna.

L’Ambassade de Monaco en Allemagne réunit ses Consuls honoraires à Vienne © DR On the joint initiative of H.E. Mr Lorenzo Ravano, Ambassador of Monaco to Germany (also accredited to Austria and Poland), and Mr Christian Dorda, Honorary Consul of Monaco in Vienna, the Embassy of Monaco held its regular consular meeting on 30 May 2025 in the Austrian capital.These meetings always prove very worthwhile, as they provide an opportunity for friendly and informative discussions on the latest developments in the Principality and its bilateral relations with these three countries while enabling the Embassy to outline its strategic vision for the coming year.The intense political climate (Germany's snap elections, a new government in Austria and the presidential elections in Poland) sparked interesting discussions on the political, social and economic situation.In addition, the trip provided an opportunity for delegates to meet with the German International Club of Monaco since around thirty of its members also travelled to the Austrian capital. The delegates benefited from a comprehensive cultural programme, including tours of historic imperial and royal courts, visits to Schönbrunn Palace and the Liechtenstein Palace, and a performance of Verdi's Opera Il Trovatore at the legendary Vienna State Opera House. The trip also featured a gala dinner in the Marble Hall of the iconic Hotel Sacher.

Monaco’s Official Development Assistance benefited 3.5 million people between 2022 and 2024

Bilan Coopération Internationale de Monaco © Stéphane Danna - Direction de la Communication Monaco’s Department of International Cooperation summed up its strategic plan for 2022–2024 with one key figure: 3.5 million direct beneficiaries. This committed effort also contributes to the Principality’s international standing.On Friday 6 June, the Department of International Cooperation presented the key outcomes of the Strategic Cooperation Plan 2022–2024 to department heads within the Monegasque Government. During this period, the Prince’s Government mobilised €74.1 million in official development assistance (ODA) to help combat poverty. Monaco gives €637 per capita in ODA each year, making it one of the world’s most charitable nations, truly a “small country with a big heart”, as the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon described it in 2013.Monaco targets its ODA, focusing on 12 countries across three regions*, to boost the impact of the action taken. More than 75% of the ODA was directed towards eight least developed countries, in line with the United Nations’ target in this area.Accounting for a third of resources and 2.4 million beneficiaries, health continues to dominate Monaco’s international cooperation efforts, which have supported capacity-building for health stakeholders, as well as work to combat female, childhood and adolescent mortality.Initiatives aimed at improving food and nutritional security have reached half a million direct beneficiaries, including through work on sustainable agriculture and the “School Feeding” programme to set up school canteens.Education and child protection projects have also benefited 500,000 people, with a priority focus on educating girls.Support for access to decent work has helped nearly 100,000 people in their pursuit of economic empowerment, improving employability, vocational training and access to entrepreneurship, particularly for women and young people.The most vulnerable groups – children, women and girls, people with disabilities, displaced people and refugees – are at the core of all activities. Conservation of the planet and its resources are also taken into account, with an approach that prioritises sustainable projects.Finally, the period in question was marked by unprecedented levels of crisis due to climate change, conflict and natural disasters. The Principality responded to 53 emergency appeals issued by the United Nations and international NGOs.* Southern and East Africa (South Africa, Burundi, Lesotho and Madagascar); the Sahel (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Senegal); North Africa/Mediterranean (Lebanon, Morocco, Mauritania and Tunisia).

The Ambassador

A Monégasque who was educated in London at the French Lycée, H.E. Mrs. Evelyne Genta has lived in the UK for the past 15 years.

In 2011, she became Ambassador of the Principality of Monaco to the Court of St. James’s to the United Kingdom which promotes all facets of the Principality: economy and finance, culture, humanitarian and environmental projects. Central to her core ambitions is to change any misconceptions people may have about the Principality:
‘Many think Monaco is a place where rich old people go to hide their money’, says H.E. Mrs. Evelyne Genta. ‘That's not true, but that old image has stuck like glue and we have to change it . Monaco is a wonderful place to live but is also a transparent regulated country.'

The Embassy

As a continuously innovative, culturally rich and developing country, Monaco wishes to engage with international community more freely and showcase its great heritage, diversity and wide-ranging expertise to the world.

Through communicating and acting abroad, Monaco can present all its facets, expanding relationships and quantifying its future in the process.

The United Kingdom and Monaco

The Principality has long held a unique bond with the UK. We are very close geographically and almost 15% of those living and working in Monaco are British. It is important to allow that special relationship to thrive by building bridges between the London and Monegasque communities. In return we have seen record numbers of new people, including young families, registering an interest in moving to the Principality and bringing their business with them.

In 2008, our Chamber for Economic Development signed a co-operation agreement with the London Chamber of Commerce.
