In the 18th arrondissement, Cultivate farms the rooftops. In Rotterdam, a dairy farm has floated in the port since 2019. Between the two lies London, where the Stock Exchange opened a market for green and social bonds that same year, and where Sustainable Ventures hosts some 500 climate start-ups. The group travels by Eurostar: 2 h 17 from Paris to London, just under four hours from London to Amsterdam. Visits are confirmed with each place when the quote is drawn up.
In the 18th arrondissement, Plantation farms the roof of the Chapelle International logistics hub, across about 7,000 m². In the old Censier campus of Sorbonne Nouvelle University, awaiting renovation, Plateau Urbain has run the Césure third place since 2022, where some 200 organisations and 2,000 students share 25,000 m².

In 2010 the first social impact bond was launched in Peterborough; in October 2019 the London Stock Exchange opened a market for green, social and sustainable bonds. Opposite Parliament, at County Hall, Sustainable Ventures supports a network of more than 1,000 climate and clean-tech start-ups.

In the port of Rotterdam, Floating Farm has been moored since 2019. Put up for sale in 2026, it is still open; its mooring permit expires in early 2028. The port, Europe’s largest, aims for net zero by 2050. In Amsterdam, Fairphone designs a phone whose owner can replace up to twelve parts, the battery among them.
