Making Energy Transition Happen

Description:

Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb of Rotterdam:"If you want win, you need to become a champion of Energy Transition." Rotterdam has one of the biggest harbours of the world. Fossil fuels have always played an important role in the development of the harbour. But that was then, now Rotterdam is changing towards a eco-friendly future. A global challenge which is taken on by the city as a whole. It's not solely a task for the government and companies, but also an multi purpose gamechanger for society as well. Change means work, means jobs, which will also lead to a sustainable economic future. Mayor Aboutaleb is a supporter of the values embedded in the Dutch Constitution: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the principles of non-discrimination.
