Belgium still not on track for climate neutrality by 2050, and that is mainly due to our vehicle fleet

Belgium is struggling to reduce greenhouse gas emissions quickly enough to meet climate neutrality goals by 2050, primarily due to an increasing number of cars and insufficient public transport adoption. The latest report from the Climate Service of the Federal Public Service Health indicates that while emissions have decreased by 32% since 1990, the transport sector is worsening, with a 19% increase in emissions. Despite progress in renewable energy and industry, the transition needs to accelerate significantly. Federal Climate Minister Jean-Luc Crucke emphasizes the need for collective efforts from businesses, citizens, and governments to achieve meaningful change.
