Results

Different risks
The complete Belgian National Risk Assessment contains 118 risks. The final report delves deeper into 29 key risks, the impact of climate change and emerging risks.

Key risks

The BNRA's summary report suggests 29 key risks. These are the risks that: 

  • have the greatest impact or likelihood by category,
  • have been in the public eye in recent years.

Regard for climate change and other emerging risks

The BNRA also has regard for the influence of climate change and other emerging risks. 

  • Climate: to identify the effects of climate change, the experts also determined the evolution until the year 2050 for various risks. They analysed whether these risks would increase or decrease under the influence of climate change, and to what extent.
  • Emerging risks: emerging risks are risks that do not yet pose a real danger to our society, but may have an effect on all the other risks in the BNRA. This effect may be positive or negative. It is uncertain what evolutions will follow. For this assessment, the experts used a qualitative rather than a quantitative approach.
