Climate Plan call for projects 2025

Comité de la Samaritaine, 'Sam'en vrac' project: social grocer for bulk products in the Marolles.

The City of Brussels supports the execution of initiatives that promote the climate transition on its territory. Submit your project between 1 May and 30 September 2025.

The Climate Plan of the City of Brussels sets out clear and ambitious objectives for its territory:

reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030
achieve carbon neutrality by 2050
strengthen the territory's resilience to climate change

As part of this plan, the City supports projects led by Brussels-based players every year through the Climate Plan call for projects.

This year, the City is highlighting the energy transition: reducing consumption, increasing efficiency, encouraging energy sharing, and supporting sustainable solutions. But the ecological transition continues on all fronts!

Do you have a project to reduce energy consumption or raise awareness about this issue? Have you come up with a revolutionary solution - high tech or low tech - or do you have an idea to deploy in your neighbourhood? Do you want to team up with your neighbours to renovate buildings or share energy? Don't hesitate to apply, this theme is in the spotlight!

Is your initiative focused on another theme but still contributes to achieving the climate goals? Then you're welcome to take part in the Climate Plan call for projects as well!
