Climate call for projects 2024

At the end of 2022, the City of Brussels adopted its new Climate Plan. The objectives for the city's territory are clear and ambitious:

• reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030
• achieve carbon neutrality by 2050
• better arm the territory against climate change

Energy, mobility, waste, water...: all these areas are covered by this broad action plan. Thanks to the plan, the City continues and expands its efforts to combat climate emergency and invites you to do your bit.

Do you have a project that encourages or facilitates eco-friendly lifestyles or development? Does your initiative help the city and its citizens achieve these climate goals now or in the future? Respond to the project call and we can support you with a grant.
