In the Netherlands there is work from home legislation. Legally requiring it to be allowed, where possible and reasonable.

The reasoning is that it reduces traffic and reduces stress.

This existed since 2000 ish. It has expanded since covid. I now only go to the office once every two weeks. Used to be two times a week.

It’s been really interesting how quickly we’ve forgotten how much air quality and greenhouse emissions slowed during the pandemic. If you’re looking for a quick climate change mitigation it’s hard to beat not requiring people to commute when the job doesn’t require it.
