From September 18 to 25, Flemish cities and municipalities highlight sustainability. Oud-Turnhout contributes by signing the 'Global Goals, Local Action' commitment statement.

From September 18 to 25, Flemish cities and municipalities are showcasing how local engagement and global responsibility go hand in hand. Choices made locally have an impact that extends beyond municipal borders, affecting areas such as mobility, green space, purchasing, poverty reduction, and infrastructure. By consciously opting for sustainable solutions, we build a strong community today and a liveable future for tomorrow.
Oud-Turnhout is actively contributing to this initiative. Last year, the municipal college signed the 'Global Goals, Local Action' commitment statement, pledging to integrate sustainable objectives into the multi-year plan. The municipality aims to make Oud-Turnhout a welcoming, sustainable, and future-oriented community.
Further details on the actions undertaken can be found in the municipality's multi-year plan. Residents are encouraged to share their own ideas, wishes, and dreams for Oud-Turnhout's sustainable future through an online platform or by collecting a postcard at the municipal hall's reception.
