Biography

About Anne Hidalgo

In 2014, Anne Hidalgo became the first woman to be elected Mayor of Paris, after serving as First Deputy Mayor of Paris from 2001 to 2014. In 2020, she was re-elected Mayor of Paris.

She successfully led Paris’s bid to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, using the Games as a catalyst for what became one of the most significant ecological transformations of any global city in the 21st century.

Under her two mandates, her ambitious policy agenda focused on housing for families and public services accessible to all Parisians, as well as tackling the climate challenge by reducing car use, greening public spaces and prioritising pedestrians: cutting air pollution by over 40%. She made the Seine swimmable again, ending a ban that had been in place for over a century.

A member of the Socialist Party, she had graduated with a Master of Advanced Studies in social law before becoming a labour inspector and going on to serve as an adviser to three Ministers under the Lionel Jospin Government.

She has equally championed these issues on the international stage. In December 2015 in Paris, she organised the climate summit for local leaders, a major side event of COP21. She chaired the C40 Cities Leadership Group and served as President of the International Association of Francophone Mayors (AIMF) and Co-Chair of the World Organization of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG).

Today, she continues in her role as Global Ambassador of the Global Covenant of Mayors, working on climate leadership with mayors around the world.
