‘Brussels in search of its ecosystem’

The regional sustainable development plan

Mobilisation around the issue of climate change highlights the need to intensify sustainable transition. For that we have to take a fresh look at our relationship with nature and develop a local and circular economy. All this requires action on a local level and this is what the new Regional Development Plan is all about.
