Abstract
This research assesses four Dutch cities on their sustainability strategies. The Netherlands has high energy consumption per capita while the share of renewable energy is the lowest of all EU countries, resulting in high greenhouse gas emissions per capita. EU legislation for climate action is proposed and Dutch legislation is put into practice. However, cities are currently not subject to legal obligations regarding climate change. Because cities are critical factors in the climate transition, their sustainability strategies need to be assessed. This research develops indicators for the economic and environmental sustainability of cities. Monitored data for these indicators on all cities are collected, the two best and lowest scoring cities relative to the Netherlands are selected for strategy content analysis. In respective order; Amsterdam, Zwolle, Rotterdam and Enschede. Results have shown that All cities have set ambitions that are in line with current assessment and all cities except Enschede have comprehensive strategies to reach their ambitions.
