Projects | Climate Initiative Northern Netherlands
Governments, companies, knowledge institutions and public organizations in the Northern Netherlands work closely together to mitigate climate change and to adapt to the consequences caused by climate change. From a number of themes, dozens of projects have been set up over the years and knowledge and innovation is shared within many national, European and global networks.
