A LIVING EXAMPLE ON HOW CITIES CAN TURN TO BE MADE CO2 NEUTRAL

Ghent has the ambitious goal of becoming climate neutral by 2050. To achieve this goal, it set up the Climate Alliance, comprising a comprehensive set of activities, from awareness raising and knowledge sharing to new tools and incentives to encourage citizens to adopt a greener lifestyle.
