Climate Plan - City services
The services of the City of Brussels include almost 4,000 members of staff (excluding teaching staff) who manage or occupy more than 700 buildings, representing 2.3% of direct greenhouse gas emissions in the area. There are also green spaces and cemeteries, public works and urban development, IT equipment and hundreds of public contracts every year. Not to mention schools and childcare facilities.
Well aware of the major impact of its activities, the City of Brussels has set itself clear objectives with the Climate Plan: to be exemplary in its operations and to anticipate changes and crises in its services to the population.
