Working together for a better climate
During National Climate Week, companies, governments, and citizens will showcase their climate efforts in a variety of ways. The goal? To inspire as many Dutch people as possible to commit to reducing CO2 emissions. We're making our voices heard, too. Alderman for Sustainability Peter van Diepen: "National Climate Week helps us raise awareness of climate change. Everyone can help combat climate change as effectively as possible by taking small steps. During Climate Week, you can see what you can do to contribute."“
