Flanders (Eurotoday): Flanders, led by Jan Jambon, is struggling to meet its 40% CO₂ reduction goal by 2030 due to delayed vehicle bans and weakened climate policies, risking its commitments.
It has been said that Flanders is not doing well in reaching its blank” rel=”noopener”>goal of reducing CO₂ emissions by 40%, which was set by the previous government and is still part of the new agreement. The Flemish government needs to control emissions from important areas like farming, road transport, and buildings, which create a lot of greenhouse gases. However, progress has slowed because the current government has canceled climate policies. This makes it harder to lower emissions.
Are policy delays impacting Flanders’ emission reduction goals?
The previous government planned to ban new combustion engine vehicle sales by 2029 to help move quickly to cleaner transportation. However, the current government has delayed this ban until 2035, which matches the European Union’s deadline but slows progress in Flanders. Critics say these delays affect Flanders’ ability to reduce emissions on time and show a lack of urgency in tackling the climate crisis. As a result, the weaker measures make it difficult for Flanders to meet its climate goals both locally and internationally.
The Flemish Energy and Climate Agency (VEKA) changed how they track emissions in different areas. The biggest problems with emissions come from road transport and farming.

Just fabulous, isn’t it? It’s like they’ve decided that the 40% CO₂ reduction goal is more of a “suggestion” than an actual target—who doesn’t love a good game of climate roulette? 🤷♂️
