Flanders Environment Agency

Flanders Environment Agency (abbreviated VMM) is an agency of the Flemish government working towards a better environment in Flanders. Flanders Environment Agency (VMM) is a government agency with powers of jurisdiction under supervision of the Flemish Minister of Justice and Enforcement, Environment, Energy and Tourism. The mission of VMM is to be a solution-oriented partner for a climate-resilient environment in Flanders. We have a wide range of responsibilities within the domains water, air and climate adaptation.

VMM is the competent authority in Flanders for air policy and is one of the partners tasked with improving air quality and tackling air pollution. We play a part in the various stages of the policy-making process (measuring, planning, taking action, evaluating). This represents an added value that makes it easier for us to retain an overview and make connections.

The three domains in which VMM is active are: water, air and the environment. Within these three domains we have a wide range of responsibilities. VMM is also a reliable partner in many European projects, including several projects concerning air quality.
