Description
In the Eindhoven metropolitan region, municipalities and healthcare institutions have united to fulfill their responsibilities and, especially together with the healthcare institutions, implement the agreements from the National Energy Agreement of 2013 regarding sustainable growth and a widely supported, future-proof energy and climate policy. The aim is to further improve the environmental performance of the healthcare institutions. Through this partnership, the partners want to share knowledge, seize additional opportunities for a better environment, and enhance their performance under the motto: Together you achieve more than alone. The participating partners are named below. This Green Deal aligns with a national Green Deal that is also supported by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport.

Mission Pathways
Representatives of Metropoolregio Eindhoven are committed to the following mission pathways:
Climate jobs
For the transition to a sustainable economy, people are needed with new knowledge and skills. This applies to construction, the energy transition, and the greening of existing homes. This requires appropriate training programs, both in vocational and scientific education. There are also pathways needed to retrain people or to impart knowledge about sustainability.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
Together we increase awareness and engage ambassadors, frontrunners, and exemplary projects aimed at the sustainability of business activities in our cities.
Energy and smart grids
Business parks are large consumers of energy. Sustainable energy from solar and wind is increasingly being generated. By managing demand in combination with storage and a so-called 'smart grid', this can be better aligned with supply.
Local is the norm.
Many of the products we use daily come from afar. This not only leads to significant CO₂ emissions due to transport, but it is also vulnerable. By producing products locally, less transport is needed. We become less dependent and more self-sufficient.
Network congestion
The demand for and supply of (sustainable) electricity are increasing. All this electricity needs to be transported through the existing cables (the electricity grid). More capacity must be created on the grid as soon as possible, and we will need to make smarter and more optimal use of the grid. This is being addressed at provincial and regional levels, including through the regional taskforce and pMIEK.
Scaling up sustainable business parks
Sustainability of a business park requires a collective approach. This means cooperation between entrepreneurs (association), property owners, suppliers, advisors, and the government.
Scaling up the new normal in the neighborhoods
Homes need to be quickly made more sustainable so that living costs less water and energy; at the same time, living in well-insulated homes is much more pleasant. To speed things up, we will need to renovate and make existing rental and owned homes more sustainable in a collective manner, relieving the residents of burdens.
Towards climate-neutral mobility in the neighborhoods
A large part of the CO₂ emissions in the city comes from cars and goods transport. We will make it easier to choose cycling, public transport, or car sharing in our city and neighborhoods. A car-reduced city center contributes to a pleasant living environment and creates more physical space for other functions such as greenery and recreation.
