Belgium cuts emissions 32% but progress is too slow for 2050
Published
Belgium's greenhouse gas emissions were 32% lower in 2024 than in 1990, but progress is too slow to reach climate neutrality. Belgium still needs faster progress to meet its 2050 target. According to the FPS Public Health, the findings were published on 12 November 2026.
The fall is a positive trend, the source says, but it is not enough. Climate neutrality means that Belgium must reach a balance in which the greenhouse gases it releases are no greater than those it removes. Reaching that balance by 2050 requires a faster pace.
The findings appear in the Transitiebarometer (transition barometer), a report that tracks Belgium's progress. The report is published by the FPS Public Health.
Readers can find the full report on the FPS Public Health website.
