Top Sustainable Lifestyle Practices Prioritized by Belgians 2025

For Belgians, sustainability begins at the tap. 31.83% prioritize minimizing water usage, placing it well above other eco-conscious habits. This focus may be linked to increasing concerns over water scarcity in regions like Flanders, where droughts are no longer rare headlines but recurring seasonal threats. 12.52% actively reduce waste through recycling and composting, despite Belgium's strong municipal recycling infrastructure. A similar share adopt plant-based diets, reflecting global shifts but indicating room for growth in personal dietary impact. The low uptake in sustainable transport and renewable energy investment reveals a gap between awareness and action. In a nation that pledges climate leadership in the EU, daily choices still lean toward low-effort practices. To truly shift the curve, deeper behavioral commitment beyond water-saving habits is critical.
