Climate Plan - Economy

With almost 20,000 businesses located within its boundaries, including more than 3,500 shops, as well as numerous organisations in the social profit sector, the City of Brussels wants to help the socio-economic sector to take action in favour of the climate and local employment.

The Climate Plan provides a framework for:

Developing short circuits and the circular economy
Offering eco-responsible products and services
Reducing the environmental impact of activities
Encouraging local, non-dislocatable employment sectors
