The power of nature

A sustainable society lives on renewable energy resources and has arranged its material flows into cycles, comparable with a natural ecosystem. Groene Cirkels therefore places ecosystem services at the centre, connecting nature with private and public interests.

In order to create a sustainable region, work needs to be carried out in several areas simultaneously. Groene Cirkels has opted for the strategy of starting small and ending big. The partnership focuses on five topics:

• Theme 1: Stimulating sustainable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• Theme 2: Ensuring the availability of sufficient clean water
• Theme 3: Closing raw material cycles
• Theme 4: Increasing the sustainability of mobility and logistics
• Theme 5: Improving the living environment and strengthening biodiversity
