Environment
A National Climate Plan was introduced based on a cooperation agreement between the federal and regional authorities after Belgium signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1998. One of the commitments made by the Brussels-Capital Region under this plan is reducing carbon emissions.

Many factors impact the state of the environment in the Brussels-Capital Region, including the number of inhabitants, the number of people in work, how they get around, the type of businesses, the built-up area and the amount of green space. To find out more about the general environmental situation in the Brussels-Capital Region, read Bruxelles Environnement’s Rapport sur l'Etat de l'Environnement 2003-2006 (PDF Format) (FR). It contains information on the changes that affect your environment in all spheres.

The following pages contain information on energy, waste management, water quality, air quality, storm water basins and the relationship between health and living conditions.

Air pollution is felt to be one of the most worrying environmental issues by the majority of Brussels inhabitants. They seem to be ready to ensure that the authorities adopt a number of even more restrictive measures.
