Belgium is facing increasing vulnerability to forest fires and heatwaves. Recent studies highlight the importance of prevention and urban planning to protect citizens' health and the environment.
You could be faced with an increase in vegetation fires across the country. According to an analysis by Greenpeace, Belgium is not immune to this risk, which necessitates better forest monitoring and an in-depth analysis of the causes of these disasters to limit environmental damage in the future.
To better withstand episodes of extreme heat, the presence of vegetation in cities proves to be an indispensable protection. Researchers from Ghent University have demonstrated that trees and plants significantly reduce urban temperatures, serving as an essential tool for preserving your health during heatwaves.
