Delighted (and, yes, a bit proud) to participate to this panel discussion with our Federal minister of Energy Tinne Van der Straeten and other energy transition experts. This was for me an opportunity to stress that: 👉 There is no silver bullet to make Belgium carbon neutral by 2050. Both technical and societal measures need to be implemented without waiting. 👉 Many companies are well aware of the opportunities and risks related to climate change, both from physical (floods, heatwaves,…) and transition (technology shifts, carbon pricing & regulation, reputation…) perspectives 👉 A low-carbon Belgium is desirable: strengthened resilience to energy security, improved health, reduced energy bill, jobs creation… just to name a few co-benefits. At CLIMACT we wake up every day to help companies contributing to this required transition. #Fitfor55 #energytransition #climatechange #climaterisks
