Climate Passport
Did you receive a Generation 2040 Passport last year? Bring it along for a new stamp that your child can add themselves! Collect stamps at our activities and create wonderful memories together. If you didn’t get one last year, you’ll receive a new passport. Siblings can also get one while supplies last.Make sure to join us for this fun-filled day and help make Wageningen a climate-neutral city!

P.S. Grandparents are, of course, welcome too! Let them be the babysitters for the children’s activities this time, so you can relax and enjoy a drink at our Parent Café.

An interesting tip for you for Saturday, April 5

The spring edition of the Wageningen Northwest Children's Clothing and Toy Fair will take place on Saturday, April 5. In the building of OBS de Nijenoord and the Johan Friso School (Hooilandplein 44-47), you will find an exhibition floor. Are you looking for neat, second-hand clothing (sizes 92 to 176) and toys, or do you want to give your own stuff a second chance? Then you are more than welcome!

At the spring fair, you can buy nice summer jackets, (shorts) pants, shirts, dresses and swimwear. Or rollerblades, scooters, sneakers and clothing, toys, books and (board) games!

Admission is free. Between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., the stock exchange operates with time slots; you can walk in freely between 11:30 and 12:00. To sell clothing and/or toys, you can request a sales number.

Do you want more information, reserve a time slot right away or request a sales number? Then visit our website: www.kinderkledingbeurswageningen.nl

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.
