It is a huge change, a transition, in which everyones involvement is important and necessary. How the municipality will work on this in the coming years, together with organizations, residents, and entrepreneurs from the city, is described in the Draft Environmental Program Energy(link is external) with the goal: ‘More residents and entrepreneurs participate and can participate in the energy transition. Together we work towards a climate-neutral Amersfoort in 2050 and a future-proof energy system’

Goals achievable only together

Becoming climate neutral is necessary to combat global warming and to be less dependent on other countries for our energy. To achieve this, compared to 1990, Amersfoort must emit 55 percent less CO2 in 2030, 90 percent less in 2040, and be climate neutral in 2050.

Everyone must be able to participate

Achieving this requires the commitment of our residents, energy cooperatives, partners, companies, and institutions. The goal of the environmental program is that residents and entrepreneurs can participate in the energy transition and actually do so. Regardless of social status, social identity, or size of the wallet. The Municipality of Amersfoort is committed to reducing energy poverty: We work together on an energy system suitable for the future.

Everyone contributes

When writing the draft Environmental Program Energy, an online survey among residents was used, a city conversation was organized, and street conversations took place throughout the city. Partner organizations, involved residents organizations, participants of the Energy community, and entrepreneurs from the city also provided input.
