🌍 Webinar: Land-Based Emissions in Carbon Accounting - FLAG & LSRG We recently participated in an enlightening webinar on land-based emissions and their role in carbon accounting 🌱. Hosted by Carbon+Alt+Delete, the discussion focused on emissions from Forestry, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG), along with the latest updates from the Land Sector and Removals Guidance (LSRG). In this featured clip, our colleague Sacha Breyer breaks down the key requirements of the SBTi’s FLAG Guidance and its importance in driving corporate climate action.

🌍 CLIMACT is proud to partner with Sytra - UCLouvain for a study commissioned by the SPW on remuneration mechanisms for environmental services provided by agriculture. This study is part of the Walloon recovery plan "Terraé," dedicated to the development of agroecology in Wallonia. 🔎 Goal : Reward farmers not for their production, but for the environmental services they provide through agroecological practices. For example, planting hedges around fields contributes to biodiversity and carbon storage. 📈 Findings: Although various private mechanisms already exist in Wallonia, a clear framework is lacking to ensure their scientific and ethical credibility. The study highlights the importance of a rigorous and fair structure, with 39 key criteria to ensure the robustness of the systems, focusing on: - Transparency of mechanisms, - Precise quantification of services, - Payment traceability, - Inclusion of farmers, who are on the front lines of climate change, - Adaptation to market uncertainties.

🌍 Climate change is happening We know that it affects and will further affect our daily lives. We also know we need to completely reinvent the way we produce and consume. There are many challenges, serious risks but also many opportunities. At Climact, we know the complexity of climate change and that solutions exist. We do help all our customers to understand and develop appropriate solutions. We are very proud of the My2050 web tool, which contributes to helping a broader audience understand what is at stake. Sharing knowledge and raising awareness on such a complex topic is crucial if we want to embark everyone. 🌍 You can now create your own climate-neutral scenario One month ago, the Service fédéral Changements climatiques (Belgique) launched a new version of the "My2050" educational web tool. With my2050 the federal authority aims to encourage a debate with all citizens, especially young people, on how we can make our society evolve towards a climate-neutral society by 2050. My2050 is a simplified version based on CLIMACT’s calculator “Pathways Explorer”. This online tool makes it possible to test possible transition scenarios based on realistic and transparent assumptions. What does “My2050” provide? 🔹 an insight into the possible changes in the different sectors (transport, buildings, industry, energy supply and agriculture). 🔹 the possibility to develop your own transition scenario by selecting ambition levels for the various "levers" in these sectors. Each choice is immediately visible in the virtual landscape. 🔹 a simultaneous calculation of the emission reduction of this scenario for our country in 2050. 🔹 analyses of this scenario about emission reductions, energy demand and net import and export of electricity, and material demand calculations. #sustainability #climatechange #climateaction #Belgium #energytransition #energy Pascal Vermeulen, Michel Cornet, Vincent van Steenberghe, Peter Wittoeck, Simon Lalieu (he/him)
Demain, nous saluerons l'engagement des professeurs qui, aux côtés des coachs climat, ont déjà sensibilisé plus de 28 000 élèves aux enjeux de la transition climatique grâce au site My2050.be 📢 Nouveauté : une version plus interactive de My2050.be vient d'être lancée ! Cette plateforme pédagogique permet aux élèves de : ✔️se projeter dans le futur en découvrant les transformations potentielles de secteurs clés (transport, bâtiment, industrie, énergie et agriculture) ; ✔️créer leurs propres scénarios pour une Belgique climatiquement neutre d'ici à 2050 ; ✔️visualiser les conséquences de leurs décisions ; ✔️approfondir leurs connaissances grâce à des ressources pédagogiques. Grâce à la collaboration entre notre SPF et GoodPlanet Belgium, nos coachs climat, formés en début d’année, animent gratuitement des sessions interactives dans les écoles, après une préparation essentielle réalisée par les enseignants. 🎯 Notre objectif : 250 nouvelles sessions pour cette année scolaire !

🚨 Belgium's Climate Policies are Not Aligned with a Net-Zero Trajectory Where are Belgium's current climate policies taking us? Unfortunately, not towards net-zero by 2050. According to CLIMACT and the Federal Planning Bureau, current strategies fall short: https://lnkd.in/eXSKAURn. Explore the implications yourself using our transparent Transition Simulator: PathwaysExplorer. Back in June 2023, Belgium submitted its climate policy pledges to the UN. But nearly a year later, the Federal Planning Bureau concluded these commitments won’t meet the EU’s 2050 goals. Major gaps exist, particularly between sectors: read more here: https://lnkd.in/eTDerAmk) At CLIMACT, we’ve further analyzed these pledges using our PathwaysExplorer, offering updated historical trends and technology potential insights. Here's what we found: 🚨 Buildings' renovation plans are on track, but other sectors lag significantly: 🌍 GHG reductions: We need a 40% drop from 2021 levels to hit the -55% target by 2030, but current pledges only reach -13%. ☀️ Renewable energy: A 24% share is projected, falling short of the 34% target. ⚡️ Energy consumption: Only -8% vs. the EU's -11.7% target. 🍃 While renewables like wind and solar are expected to grow, energy production remains carbon-intensive. Gas capacity might even double by 2050, increasing dependence and volatility. To improve energy security and cost stability, Belgium’s new governments must re-align policies with our net-zero vision.

📢New Report📢 Climate neutrality by 2040 is possible, but the new EU Commission must act urgently! Today we’re launching our updated civil society-led energy scenario that outlines how the EU can achieve climate neutrality by 2040 and what measures are needed to transition the power, industry, buildings, and transport sectors. According to #PACscenario: 🌱Achieving climate neutrality by 2040 could generate over 1 trillion in co-benefits for the EU by 2030 already ⚡A 100% renewable based energy system is not only possible, but necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. This requires rapid decarbonisation, phasing out fossil fuels and significant investments in renewable infrastructure. 🔋Reducing energy demand is crucial for reaching climate neutrality by 2040. This can be achieved through sustainable lifestyles, energy efficiency, innovation and circularity Read the full energy scenario 👇 #EnergyCompass #PACscenario

EU City Calc : that’s a wrap ! ✨ Over the past 3 years, we worked with 10 pilot cities from 6 countries alongside 11 partners to develop an innovative tool for local authorities to test low-carbon scenarios. Now that the project is ending, we are proud to announce that the European City Calculator is already helping 15 cities pave their way towards climate neutrality. 🚀 What does the European City Calculator do? This tool allows users to create transition scenarios by using local data and exploring cross-sectorial impacts on energy production, use and GHG emissions. It also assesses air quality, circularity, and water use, simplifying strategic efforts to shape climate strategies. 💡 Interested?
