Press Release: Environment: Green Week opens in Brussels

Europe's largest environment conference started on 4 June 2013 under the banner “Cleaner Air for All”.

2013's edition of Green Week is dedicated to air, and will see some 3000 participants gather for three days to discuss air-related issues. Stakeholders, NGOs, government representatives and EU officials will search for solutions to air pollution, like how to safeguard air quality against the backdrop of rising industrial and energy production, the rise in road traffic and urbanisation, the burning of fossil fuels, and climate change.
