In October and November 2025, we spoke with residents and partners throughout Gelderland about renewing the Gelderland environmental vision. This 2nd participation round has now been completed. We look back on valuable conversations and much involvement. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

This round focused on the 7 spatial choices proposed by the Provincial Executive (GS) for the renewed environmental vision. During the meetings, we discussed questions such as: Do you understand what is stated? What do you think of the content? And what do these choices mean for your living environment and Gelderland as a whole? 

An impression of the meetings

Curious about how the meetings went? In the three short videos below, you get an impression of the atmosphere and conversations. The videos show how different and complementary the perspectives brought in are. 

How do we proceed now?

We bundle all the results of the meetings in a participation report. We will share this report mid-January via our website. We will process the substantive input in January and early February 2026 in the further elaboration of the draft environmental vision. In addition, we also conduct administrative discussions per region. That is also input for the further elaboration. 

Why are we renewing the environmental vision?

Our current vision, Gaaf Gelderland from 2018, is no longer up to date. This vision provides too little direction and does not align well with the Environmental Act. Therefore, we started an intensive process in January 2024 to renew the vision. This way, we can better respond to new spatial and social developments.
