Belgian Court of Audit: Federal government lags on energy performance goals

The Belgian Court of Audit reports that the federal government is at high risk of failing its exemplary role in building energy performance, having postponed its 2040 climate-neutrality target for its real estate portfolio in 2025. This comes as EU obligations for public buildings are tightened, highlighting a policy implementation gap. The report underscores a credibility issue for the government's climate commitments.
