2020年，欧盟成员国达成了一项名为NextGenerationEU的7500亿欧元后疫情复苏计划。该计划由欧盟委员会实施，预计到今年年底将拨付6340亿欧元，目前正接近尾声。在比利时的53亿欧元复苏计划中，超过一半被用于绿色转型。
In 2020, the EU member states agreed on a €750 billion post-Covid recovery plan known as NextGenerationEU. This programme, for which the Commission will have disbursed €634 billion by the end of the year, is coming to an end. Out of Belgium's €5.3 billion recovery plan, more than half has been allocated to the green transition.
在欧盟复苏与韧性基金（RRF）资助的众多项目中，随着欧洲人刚刚经历的炎热夏季，提高学校建筑能效成为一个特别重要的领域。
Among the many projects funded by the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), one area has taken on particular significance in the wake of the scorching summer Europeans have just experienced: improving the energy efficiency of school buildings.
以比利时法语社区政府为例，已有149所学校被选中进行翻修，其中包括皇家阿特纳埃学校（Ganshoren）。仅仅几年前，该校的中学部因破败不堪而引发学生、家长和教师的抗议，要求进行翻修。然而，任务依然艰巨：法语社区的大量学校建筑仍然过时且能源效率低下。
In Belgium's Francophone community government, for example, 149 school sites have been selected for renovation, including the Athénée royal de Ganshoren. Just a few years ago, its secondary school was so dilapidated that students, parents and teachers protested to demand renovation work. Yet the task remains immense: much of the French-speaking school building stock is still outdated and energy inefficient.
