French Coal City

An aerial view shows the 11/19 pit and twin slag heaps at the former coal mine site in Loos-en-Gohelle, northern France, November 1, 2015. Loos-en-Gohelle, a town of 7000 inhabitants in the North of France, marked by the closure of coal mines in 1970, has demonstrated a successful transition from coal to a green economy. The city has joined the network of French positive energy territories, with almost 350 direct and indirect jobs created around the eco-activities and renewable energy in 10 years. On December 3, 2015, the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region will propose a visit of Loos-en-Gohelle as a symbol of a 'sustainable energy city'. This event will be part of the COP21, the World Climate Summit hosted by Paris from November 30 to December 11, 2015. (Photo by Pascal Rossignol/Reuters)
