• Based on the public debate, the elected officials identified measures that can easily be implemented in the region, but also a lack of public knowledge regarding certain city initiatives.

• The debate led to the initiation of a network of actors involved in environmental issues (65% of local actors volunteered to participate in working groups).

Objectives

• Gathering of ideas, good practices and feedback to enrich the Territorial Climate and Energy Plan for the period 2020-2030
