title: A climate mitigation strategy analysis of the  most- and least sustainable cities of the  Netherlands
creator: Oud, Martijn
description: 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.
