For several years, Rue89Lyon has been documenting the different consequences of climate change in Lyon and in the Rhône. Red trees in the Monts du Lyonnais, changes in the level of the river, endangered species… Find traces of it in this map, updated regularly.
There is no longer any doubt. Climate change does not only have distant consequences: it also occurs at the local level. Considered for a long time as an abstract phenomenon, this evolution linked to the action of man, according to the multiple reports IPCC experts (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), has a visible impact close to home, in Lyon and in the Rhône.

[Data] Climate change: temperatures are rising inexorably in Lyon
For ten years, through reports and surveys, Rue89Lyon has been interested in the consequences of this in the Lyon region. First, it is illustrated by a gradual rise in temperatures and an increase in the number of drought periods. A reality that we have been able to observe, with supporting figures and infographics.
France’s third-largest city, Lyon is warming at a worrying rate. By 2100, it could experience an average temperature similar to that of a city like Algiers or Madrid. With a record of 41.4° posted this Thursday, August 24 at 1:30 p.m. at the Lyon-Bron station, we are on our way.
What climate in Lyon in the future?
We question the climate in Lyon in the future through the data of the climatic projections of Météo France.

However, all this has direct consequences on our daily life, and this, from now on. In Beaujolais, the harvest period was gradually shifted from October to September, then from September to August. The sustainability of Gamay, its flagship grape variety, may one day raise questions. For market gardeners, some areas risk becoming more difficult to cultivate.
Around us, the fauna and flora also evolve. Some birds no longer have their place in our cities. In the forests of the Rhône, certain species of trees are set to disappear.
Often presented separately, these evolutions and disappearances often appear as isolated pieces of a scattered puzzle. In this map, Rue89Lyon offers you to recompose it by finding our various articles on the subject.
Nothing exhaustive here, this is a first representation to document a phenomenon. This will be updated as we work on the subject. Its goal: to show climate change to better understand it and, if necessary, to discuss potential changes and possible adaptations in our region.
