In addition, it's about creating a city that is able <strong>to cope with the consequences of climate change</strong> such as drought, heat and flooding. Our city must by climate-neutral by 2050, which seems far away, but is in fact just around the corner.</p> <div> <h2>How Ghent intends to fulfil its climate ambitions</h2> <p>Numerous local residents, companies, schools, organisations and government institutions are already helping shape our climate neutral future. Ghent Climate City brings together all those who collaborate on combating climate change. This collaboration concerns<strong> large-scale industrial projects</strong> as well as <strong>small-scale start-ups and citizen initiatives</strong>. We initiate projects and provide assistance and support wherever possible.</p> <p>Yet the time to act is now. If we aim to make Ghent climate neutral by 2050, we need to step up a gear. To this end, the City of Ghent has compiled the objectives and actions in <strong>a <a href="https://en.calameo.com/read/0063954479db097ad1e64">third climate plan</a> for the period 2020-2025</strong>, in which each local resident, each company, each knowledge institution and each public organisation has an essential role to play. This joint effort (<em>Tuupe tegoare!</em>) is crucial to making climate neutrality a reality.</p> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--image paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="image-gallery--wrapper single"> <div class="image-gallery js-lightbox"> <a href="https://stad.gent/sites/default/files/styles/gallery_full/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=cA2P8_l0" class="gallery-link" aria-describedby="image-gallery__open-gallery" > <figure> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_l/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=P3PANgN2 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_l_x2/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=xbLWpwLu 2x" media="(min-width: 1680px)" type="image/webp" width="655" height="148"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_l/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=P3PANgN2 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_l_x2/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=xbLWpwLu 2x" media="all and (min-width: 960px) and (max-width: 1679.9px)" type="image/webp" width="655" height="148"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=EKI6JtFr 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl_x2/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=Wd-07tKU 2x" media="all and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959.9px)" type="image/webp" width="920" height="208"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xl/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=qmEWoJP9 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_xl_x2/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=HOAQy8hh 2x" media="all and (min-width: 576px) and (max-width: 767.9px)" type="image/webp" width="727" height="165"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_m/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=0tzG6BaC 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_m_x2/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=StZGnzQ2 2x" media="all and (max-width: 575.9px)" type="image/webp" width="575" height="130"/> <img loading="lazy" width="1262" height="286" src="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl_x2/public/media/images/Tijdslijn_2.png.webp?itok=Wd-07tKU" alt="Climate actions - tijdslijn" /> </picture> </figure> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <h2>Where are we now?</h2> <p>Every year, the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO) provides the basic data concerning Ghent’s CO2 emissions, which is supplemented with local data sources.

The figures relating to renewable energy include the generation of electricity from wind turbines, solar panels and waste (biomass) incineration as well as the generation of heat from solar boilers and heat pumps. To concretise these figures, they are compared to the total energy demand of households (electricity and heating). This is called the ‘self-sufficiency rate’.</p> <p><strong>The ambition set by the previous climate plan was a self-sufficiency rate of 15 %.</strong> In 2018, the self-sufficiency rate increased significantly to 18.3 %, mainly thanks to the installation of new wind turbines in the port. There was also an increase in the number of photovoltaic solar panels (PV) and solar boilers. The preliminary data for 2019 point again to a <strong>strong growth in the photovoltaic solar panel segment</strong>. <strong>As a result, the intermediate objective has been met.</strong></p> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--image paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="image-gallery--wrapper single"> <div class="image-gallery js-lightbox"> <a href="https://stad.gent/sites/default/files/styles/gallery_full/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=Fl5tln-h" class="gallery-link" aria-describedby="image-gallery__open-gallery" > <figure> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_l/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=DXyk2Ly6 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_l_x2/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=X92VlN4d 2x" media="(min-width: 1680px)" type="image/webp" width="655" height="533"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_l/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=DXyk2Ly6 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_l_x2/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=X92VlN4d 2x" media="all and (min-width: 960px) and (max-width: 1679.9px)" type="image/webp" width="655" height="533"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=tIIdHp6I 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl_x2/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=cX_IdFXd 2x" media="all and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959.9px)" type="image/webp" width="920" height="748"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xl/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=lBPK50Az 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_xl_x2/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=UpvcByBG 2x" media="all and (min-width: 576px) and (max-width: 767.9px)" type="image/webp" width="727" height="591"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_m/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=b9CIsytZ 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_m_x2/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=FbIF2xOW 2x" media="all and (max-width: 575.9px)" type="image/webp" width="575" height="468"/> <img loading="lazy" width="1526" height="1241" src="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl_x2/public/media/images/20211209_AV_Ghent%20Climate%20City_infografiek%20Zelfvoorzieningsgraad%20EN_GD_02.jpg.webp?itok=cX_IdFXd" alt="Climate acttions - where are we now - self sufficiency" /> </picture> </figure> </a> </div> </div> </div> " infopages.
