Curious about how innovative cities fight climate change? Take cues from Amsterdam and gain inspiration for a career in sustainability.
Cities have a huge impact on the environment—using 78% of global energy and producing 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In Amsterdam, discover the inner workings of a smart city. Witness how urban planning and technology can help lower use of natural resources, lessen impact on the environment, and ensure a good life for residents. Participate in Design Thinking workshops alongside other Global Navigators to define an urban issue, design and model a solution, and present it to members of the community.
Amsterdam, one of three cities piloting the Thriving Cities Initiative, intends to become a circular city by 2050 where everything produced and consumed is reusable, giving life to "Doughnut Economics." Hear from change-makers and experience exclusive tours of organizations and companies driving Amsterdam’s transition to a smart and circular city.
Soak in the Dutch way of life, too. Stroll along Amsterdam’s canals and parks. Visit colorful markets and taste traditional dishes like poffertjes and Dutch fries. On excursions, venture outside Amsterdam to explore city planning in cities like Almere, Utrecht, and Rotterdam.
