The website Provincies in Cijfers (Provinces in Figures) provides detailed climate data, highlighting a specific aspect each month. The CO₂ emissions from all households combined in the province of Antwerp decreased by 32% in 2024 compared to 2011. The province and its municipalities are actively working towards the goal of a 40% reduction by 2030. Household emissions constitute a substantial portion of municipal emissions, with the ambition to make all homes completely emission-free by 2050.
With the start of the heating season and rising fossil fuel prices, the figures are being re-examined. In addition to the overall reduction in CO₂ emissions, Provincies in Cijfers also offers data on fossil fuel consumption per sector, CO₂ emissions per sector, a comprehensive climate mitigation report, and a report on fossil-free construction and living.
To encourage residents to heat more efficiently, municipalities can support them with online building advice via duurzaamwonen.be and by developing a heat plan. Provincies in Cijfers assists municipalities with up-to-date data and thematic reports to make informed policy choices, compare with other municipalities and regions, and set objectives.
Besides climate figures, the website also contains current data on space, housing, mobility, and population. For questions regarding tailored climate reports, specific figures, or the use of Provincies in Cijfers, contact persons Kris Mees or Yves Pepermans can be reached.
