Action on climate and nature

The climate crisis is the greatest challenge we face. 

Climate change is the change in average conditions, such as temperature or rainfall. This is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil and gas). Over a long period of time this will have a serious impact on our environment and biodiversity.

To acknowledge this and take action, we declared a climate emergency and we have adopted a Nature and Climate Action Plan.
