Belgian Climate Centre
Founded in 2022, the 🇧🇪 Belgian Climate Centre focuses on climate science, fostering collaboration, supporting research, and providing decision-makers with scientific expertise | climatecentre.be | socials & more: linktr.ee/belgianclimatecentre
- 📢 Belgian experts wanted: review the IPCC’s First Order Draft guidance for short-lived climate forcers (methane, black carbon) shaping national inventories. Registration closes Fri 13 Feb 2026. #IPCC #ScienceBE #Methane #AirQuality #ClimateAction 👉 Join: apps.ipcc.ch/comments/slcf/
- Economic models are failing to detect the climate storm ahead. A report by Univ of Exeter & @carbontracker.bsky.social reveals that current forecasts miss the compounding risks of a +2°C world, assuming growth continues regardless. We must fix the radar. 🔗 greenfuturessolutions.com/news/recalib...
- Four in five Europeans have faced climate shocks like heat or floods in the last 5 years. A new EEA/Eurofound report reveals 38% can't afford to cool their homes. We must bridge this resilience gap.
- 🆕 Europeans are very concerned about #extremeheat and other #climatechange impacts according to the results of a Europe-wide survey study by the EEA & @eurofound.europa.eu 🔗https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/news/climate-change-overheated-and-underprepared
- A new global dataset led by VITO provides heat stress projections at 100-metre resolution for 142 cities up to 2100. It includes Antwerp, Brussels, Charleroi, Ghent and Liège. This high-resolution data is vital for designing local adaptation strategies. #UrbanHeat #Belgium 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.di...

- The Belgian Climate Centre unveils its Work Programme 2026–27: strengthening research capacity, boosting knowledge transfer (e.g., a Climate Data Portal or Dashboard), and enhancing institutional effectiveness. #ClimateScience #Belgium 🔗 Read more: www.climatecentre.be/annual-reports
- New research shows widespread cool roofs could reduce daily max temps by 2.1°C in #Belgium. During the 2019 heatwave, this could have avoided ~25% of heat-related deaths in Brussels. Combining with vegetation helps cool nights. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
- A new study conducted by @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social, RMI, @sciensano.be, VITO and @ucl.ac.uk, highlights the effectiveness of “cool roofs”: reflective roofs that can significantly reduce temperatures in cities. 🔗 More info on our website: www.meteo.be/en/info/news...
- Antarctic melt stratifies the ocean, but strong winds keep the CO₂ absorption window open in the near future. New research led by ULB reveals the Southern Ocean remains a vital climate buffer despite warming. 🔗 FR: actus.ulb.be/fr/presse/co...
