NECP is part of an EU-wide review released on 28 May 2025, which found that member states have made significant progress toward the bloc’s 2030 climate goals. Belgium’s updated plan contributes to this progress, but the Commission stresses that ambition must now translate into concrete action. Emissions targets within reachAccording to the Commission, Belgium is on track to meet its 2030 emissions reduction obligations under the Effort Sharing Regulation. If current policies are properly implemented, Belgium is expected to exceed its 2030 LULUCF target, contributing positively to its overall climate performance. Renewable energy and efficiency fall behind EU goalsDespite proactive steps to develop renewable energy technologies, Belgium’s national contribution to the EU’s 2030 renewable energy target is assessed as insufficient.
