The Vervoort III government was the coalition government of the Brussels-Capital Region from 18 July 2019 until 13 February 2026. Following the 2024 regional elections, it took over 600 days to form the succeeding Dilliès government.
Headed by socialist minister-president Rudi Vervoort, a French speaker, the coalition consisted of six parties: PS, Ecolo, DéFI on the francophone side, and Groen, Open Vld and one.brussels-sp.a (one.brussels-Vooruit)[1] on the Dutch-speaking side. Minister-president Vervoort headed the capital region since 2013.[2]
Since assuming office in 2013, the Vervoort governments I, II and III have implemented several key policies in the Brussels-Capital Region.
- Plan Régional de Développement Durable (PRDD) / Regional Sustainable Development Plan: This plan outlines the long-term vision for Brussels, focusing on sustainable urban development, housing, mobility, and environmental quality.[3]
- GoodMove: This plan for 2020-2030 introduced measures to improve public transportation, promote cycling, and reduce car usage to enhance mobility within the region.[4]
- Plan Lumière / Lighting Plan: The plan brought additional street lighting to Brussels, notably around the Brussels Canal. Based on a 2012 plan, it was part of the coalition agreement (déclaration de politique régionale) of Vervoort II, ruling from 2014 until 2019.[5]
- Climate Plan: Published in 2018 and updated in 2022, the plan aims for carbon neutrality of public buildings by 2040 and carbon neutrality of the territory of the City of Brussels by 2050. The City of Brussels is only a part of the Brussels capital region.[6]
- Plan Nature: Adopted in 2016, it aims to protect and enhance biodiversity in Brussels, enabling better access to green spaces for citizens, and promoting urban nature conservation.[7]
