Being an adult in a climate-neutral municipality, why?

There is no getting around it anymore; climate change is underway. And the whole world is affected by that. We also see the consequences of this in Wageningen. To stop this, it requires commitment from everyone. Generation 2040 will be the first to make their own adult choices in a climate-neutral municipality.

Baby of 2022

Amira in 2040

Eating local, plant-based products is better for the environment than eating animals or food from faraway countries. Amira eats fewer animal products and enjoys fruit, vegetables, legumes and nuts. That can be just as tasty and affordable. In 2040, as many Wageningen residents as possible, just like Amira, will eat sustainably.

Daan in 2040

Daan lives in a nice warm and energy-neutral apartment. This means that the energy that the house uses is made from renewable energy sources. Daan finds it strange that his parents used to spend so much money on energy bills. In 2040, as many Wageningen residents as possible, just like Daan, will live in an energy-neutral home.

Yara in 2040

Yara gets her driver's license in an electric car in 2040, preferring to ride a bike. And if possible, she mainly travels by public transport that does not pollute the air. Later, she wants to share an electric car with her neighbors. This saves a lot of parking spaces, so even more space for greenery.

Julia in 2040

In 2040, Julia will breathe clean air in Wageningen. Because we travel without CO2 emissions. Yara lives in a healthy, pleasant and green city. With many species of animals and plants. She loves walking around the city. Meet people in all Wageningen parks.

Baby of 2022

Ilyas in 2040

In 2040, Ilyas will be doing an internship at a Wageningen company that is completely sustainable and circular. The company generates all its electricity sustainably. And when purchasing products, it pays close attention to whether everything is made sustainably and/or can be reused. The company has no more waste and uses the raw materials over and over again.
