The green deal events started in 2020 and will run until 2024. The green deal has been signed by 11 frontrunners, event organizers. They have made agreements to develop a CO2 reduction plan on the topics of energy, materials and plastic, food & drink, mobility, diversity and inclusion. They have drawn up an action plan to achieve the objectives in the agreement.

Climate jobs are jobs that arise in, among others, the technical sector as a result of the energy transition. There is a significant shortage of personnel in this sector. Additionally, the types of jobs created are very diverse: from solar panel installers to cleanup assistants to enable insulation to be installed. The Climate Jobs Project aims to connect job seekers with these jobs. It is being investigated whether a neighborhood-oriented approach is feasible and desirable.

Enpuls can support the municipality as a public heat partner with people and resources during the development of heating networks. For more information, see www.enpuls.nl. This may also include harmonizing different projects within the Municipality of Eindhoven/Helmond.

How can we involve residents and entrepreneurs in the coming years in the transition to a sustainable and healthy city?

On industrial estates, the risk of waterlogging and heat is high due to the lack of greenery and the presence of a lot of hard surfaces. Damage and inconvenience caused by climate change on industrial estates can be mitigated by designing them to be green and shaded. This makes industrial estates more climate-resilient and enhances the quality of the living and working environment.

The municipality of Eindhoven wants to help all homeowners' associations in Eindhoven with the sustainability of their buildings. The offer includes, among other things, an info desk, meetings, courses, a campaign box, and advice. In the long term, process guidance will be added.

A sustainable and circular economy focuses on reducing consumption, production, and the reuse of products, materials, and resources. Companies have an important role in this.

The Smart Sustainable Real Estate Program (SVV) is an approach in which we make municipal buildings more sustainable (as a role model) while simultaneously collaborating smartly with property owners on the sustainability of all buildings in the city. By making our own real estate more sustainable, we have gained a lot of knowledge and experience. With that, we are happy to help other property owners on their way. The integrated approach is central to this. By cleverly combining maintenance costs with structural adjustments and fully utilizing subsidy options, you can reduce the energy costs of your real estate and extend its economic lifespan. In the first phase of the two-phase approach, particularly profitable measures (monitoring, LED lighting, and solar panels) were implemented first. In the second phase, SVV will develop instruments, conduct pilots with area-based approaches and new innovations, and make example projects more sustainable, etc., with the aim of accelerating the sustainability of all buildings in the city through SVV.

In 2016, the municipality signed a cooperation agreement under the name 'Smart Sustainable Municipal Buildings' with !MPULS (a partnership of several companies) for a duration of 10 + 5 years. In addition to management and (major) maintenance, we will make the municipal buildings (NRE, Town Hall, Town Hall Tower, Mercado, and Van Abbemuseum) and their immediate surroundings (e.g., Smart Thermal Grid (STG) Town Hall Square) more sustainable over ten years based on the principles of The Natural Step. The Town Hall Tower was completed in 2018, and the Town Hall in 2020 (except for the PVT roof). Work is currently underway on Mercado and the Van Abbemuseum, the STG Town Hall Square, and the PVT roof of the Town Hall. The NRE building is scheduled for completion in 2025. The available renovation and maintenance budget for both buildings has been used for the sustainability efforts. By cleverly combining the budgets and incorporating flexibility into the cooperation agreement (through an alliance), we have maximized the sustainability without increasing the annual costs. Moreover, the buildings are now future-proof in every respect and also prepared for hybrid working.

Activities aimed at making business parks more sustainable: - solutions for grid congestion through energy hubs - promote a sustainable economy and business operations, including the establishment of a raw materials market - encourage sustainable mobility by increasing the level of organization - knowledge sharing

By measuring and analyzing energy data, unnecessary consumption can be easily identified and prevented. The results vary by building, with savings of nearly 30% in some cases.

Water and greenery are essential for the design of public spaces in city centers and neighborhoods, supporting social, retail, and recreational activities. This requires freeing up space by using existing buildings more efficiently and reducing car traffic, which leads to more opportunities for greening. In addition, climate adaptation is necessary, such as greening gardens, parks, and roofs.

The implementation of the Mobility Vision requires collaboration with other disciplines and partners in the fields of redesign, public space, behavior influence, regulation and enforcement, monitoring and adjustment, and financing. This necessitates a working method and organization that ensures cohesion and progress over the years to prevent the emergence of "disconnected" projects that do not complement each other. Therefore, the implementation of the vision will utilize a Multi-Year Implementation Program for Mobility Transition (MUM), which will be managed by a fixed internal coordination team. The precise description of the responsibilities of this team will be further developed immediately after the vision is finalized.

We will not achieve the goals of the climate mission by just involving citizens in the change. It is important to make the positive side visible and tangible, and to ensure that everyone can participate. The Living Lab 040 therefore has a citizen think tank. Our ambition is to bridge the gap between citizens and professionals, as well as solutions. In the think tank, a group of engaged citizens (from both within and outside Eindhoven) participates, who want to actively think about the challenges in their city of tomorrow. They have a voice here, are involved in innovations, and can even live in the testing ground. We want to activate all knowledge through the citizen think tank to bring the sustainability task closer to the citizens, by organizing various events and small-scale projects within and outside the Living Lab. We can also use this tool to gauge adoption and resistance to innovation.

In earlier research, Summa College sought a vision and approach for the transition to a future-proof learning environment. An important goal is to engage students, teachers, stakeholders, and local residents in this transition with concrete interventions. In this previous research, a climate toolbox was developed. For this project, there is a desire to collaboratively develop a concrete plan with students, teachers, stakeholders, and local residents to transform the hard-surfaced parking area into a climate-adaptive and biodiverse meeting space. The Sterrenlaan location serves as a pilot project to make the start of the transition visually apparent.

Circle City Eindhoven is a collaboration in the construction sector between the municipality, housing corporations, developers, builders, advisors, and designers. The parties signed the covenant 'Regional Circular Construction Strategy Eindhoven' in 2023. It was agreed that the organizations will apply The New Normal and submit two projects for evaluation with The New Normal. In 2024, we will work with Circle City Eindhoven on topics 1) circular renovation, 2) materials & designs, and 3) circularity & finance. Here, we will contribute knowledge, seek barriers as well as opportunities, and share relevant project experiences.

This website will be the Climate Neutral Action Platform!

Why is it not possible to enjoy a street where you meet neighbors, children play outside, and you are surrounded by greenery even on the 5th floor? With this project, we are developing an alternative to the commonly used apartment building, allowing us to achieve high densities in a qualitative manner. A structure (exo-skeleton) creates a winding path upward, adjacent to plateaus (elevated ground level), on which residences and communal facilities are built. Affordable, inclusive, with nature, temporary and permanent. An initiative by LL040, open to innovative parties to join.

Sustainability of Industrial Park de Hurk is focused on four sub-tasks: sustainable and smart energy use, space for greenery, water and innovation, sustainable construction and closing loops. Currently, various sub-projects are underway: collective energy solutions, green walking paths, sustainable mobility, sustainable construction and work, closed loops de Hurk, communication & events, and monitoring. These are carried out by BIZ de Hurk, a collaboration among entrepreneurs in Eindhoven. The sub-projects are executed under the banner "De Hurk Werkt!"
