Since then, people are concerned about remote work and leisure, but no one thinks about the climate anymore. The same applies to public authorities: which ones still care? Who sits around a table to think about the medium term? Take the renovation of buildings by municipalities: this policy has disappeared. #Climat #Bruxelles #Manifestation (translated)
