Achieving climate neutrality and just transition in Belgium
 

The transition to a climate-neutral and resilient society represents one of Belgium's most critical contemporary challenges. This goal requires profound transformations across all sectors, from energy and industry to transport and food systems, impacting our economy and daily lives. Successfully navigating this transition is essential not only for meeting climate targets but also for ensuring long-term prosperity and social equity.
 

Addressing this complex challenge requires more than technological innovation; it demands a broad societal dialogue and a common understanding of the associated socio-economic implications. Collaboration between scientists, policymakers, businesses, and civil society is crucial to developing pathways that are both effective and fair. This involves creating actionable, evidence-based strategies that can guide Belgium towards a sustainable future.

 

The conference aims to provide answers to the central questions of this transition:

• What are the challenges of decarbonisation in Belgium?

• How can we achieve the transition to a climate-neutral and resilient society in a fair and efficient way?

• What are the most effective technological and socio-economic solutions to achieve decarbonisation across different sectors?

 

By combining scientific presentations with stakeholder-oriented panels, the conference will provide a unique opportunity to share state-of-the-art information on the challenges, strategies, and innovative approaches for achieving climate neutrality in Belgium. The primary objective is to foster a shared understanding and collaborative spirit to accelerate a just and effective transition.
