From 18 to 25 September, the Association of Flemish Cities and Municipalities (VVSG) organises the second edition of its ‘Week of the Sustainable Municipality’. Participating municipalities engage to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a group of local sustainable heroes during the entire week.

The heroes are citizens, schools, companies or organisations who contribute to the SDGs in their own daily way and are therefore nominated to be the ‘local faces of the global goals’. All sustainable municipalities, their heroes and images of their local activities will be presented on the campaign website www.duurzamegemeente.be.
