Care of the environment

Cities, municipalities and administrative districts do have different structures, but the challenges in the services for the public are more or less the same. The local and regional authorities take on an important key function in taking care of the environment. Communes are responsible for planning, investments, management and implementation. The communes represent the linchpin when it comes to the realisation of an environment worth living in. There, where the courses set for the weal or woe of the environment become practically effective, i.e. on the level of the communes, the needs of the quality of life can be dealt with particularly effectively and directly. The visible local pressure problem can be solved directly, especially also to relieve the environment.
