Wallonia moves forward on a new funding mechanism for public housing

“Every year gained in delivering a project means families gaining faster access to quality housing and millions of euros in additional costs avoided. Today, housing production is stagnating. That calls for exploring other ways of working. We will examine, without taboos, whether this type of public-private partnership, which works in the regions and countries around us, can enable us to build and renovate faster in Wallonia, while guaranteeing public control, final quality and the sound use of regional resources. It is our responsibility to ensure that every public euro is managed and used as well as possible.” Cécile Neven, Walloon Minister for Housing

Wallonia equips itself with a permanent framework to strengthen the protection of its forests

By permanently enshrining in the Forestry Code the tools needed to prevent, monitor and manage health crises, Wallonia is equipping itself with a stable legal framework that responds more effectively to the challenges posed by climate change and the new threats to forest ecosystems. With this decree, Wallonia is changing its approach. It no longer creates an exceptional regime with every new crisis. It writes into the Forestry Code a permanent framework allowing risks to be anticipated, swift action to be taken when the situation demands it, and the actors concerned to be supported.
