In a renewed push for sustainability, Monaco’s Town Hall is rolling out a diverse series of eco-focused events throughout September, combining education, community action, and hands-on repair workshops to engage residents of all ages in environmental protection.
From repair workshops to a large-scale clean-up initiative, the Mairie de Monaco is reaffirming its dedication to sustainable development with a calendar of public events rooted in practical climate action.
The first of these takes place on Saturday 13th September, when the popular Munegu Repair Café returns to the Marché de la Condamine. Organised in collaboration with the Nice Repair Café, volunteers will be on hand from 3:30pm to 6pm to help residents give a second life to broken objects, championing the values of a circular economy and waste reduction.
Then on Wednesday 17th September, the Town Hall will launch the inaugural Munegu Repair Biçiclëta, a free bike repair workshop in partnership with Decathlon Monaco. Held from 12pm to 3pm at the same Condamine venue, this session is part of European Mobility Week and offers light repairs, adjustments, tyre replacements and expert advice. Participants are encouraged to bring their own inner tubes or tyres for replacements.
The World Clean Up Day event follows on Saturday 20th September, with a community litter collection march co-organised by the Town Hall and the Société Monégasque d’Assainissement (SMA). Starting at 9:30am from the Marché de la Condamine, volunteers will be equipped with gloves and bags before heading out on one of two inclusive routes. The event concludes at Parc Princesse Antoinette with a symbolic weighing of the waste collected. Registration is required via environnement@mairie.mc.
Diving into marine conservation and circular economy awareness
Marking the International Day of the Sea, a special conference on Thursday 25th September will spotlight the vital work of the Association Monégasque pour la Protection de la Nature (AMPN). Titled ‘AMPN: 50 Years of Marine Protected Area Conservation’, the evening will take place at Casa d’i Soci from 6:30pm and will include interactive workshops where participants can simulate marine biodiversity monitoring using scientific techniques and Lego models to build artificial reefs.
Finally, on Saturday 27th September, the Mairie will host a new edition of its eco-conscious community braderie from 10am to 4pm at Parc Princesse Antoinette. Residents can book free stands to sell second-hand goods ranging from books to clothing and electronics, in an event designed to reduce waste and foster reuse. A special ‘Vide-Chambre’ area, inspired by Junior Council students, will allow teens to offload unused items from their bedrooms in time for the new school year.
These initiatives are all free and open to the public.
