Over the next five years, the Province of West Flanders will invest €45,000 annually in projects that store carbon in local agricultural soils. Through this investment, it aims to offset around 40% of the annual CO₂ emissions from its provincial buildings locally. Towns and municipalities in West Flanders can also join the initiative through a group purchasing scheme organised by the Province.

Companies can take responsibility today by offsetting part of their emissions locally and encouraging their suppliers to do the same. Through Claire, you invest in local climate projects, from carbon storage in agricultural soils and reforestation to renewable energy. In doing so, you give the climate transition a tangible boost while supporting local project developers and our economy.
