Abstract
Driven by climate change and the consequences of urbanization, the following research question is posed; How are the initiatives in Amsterdam aiming to contribute to the sustainability of the city and how is the cooperation with the local government perceived? A citizen-, non-governmental organization- (NGO), and a business initiative are researched in this thesis to see if and how their characteristics affect the aims of sustainability and the cooperation with the local government. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and complemented with (policy) documents. The results showed that the direct aims of the initiatives were different as there was a difference in topics. However, looking at the sustainability aspects and the sustainable development goals there were many similarities. For the cooperation with the local government there were clear differences between the initiatives, mostly concerning dependence. For future research, it is recommended to perform the same research with a larger sample size to see if the statements made in the conclusion are applicable on large scale.
