Take action!

The definition of ‘sustainable’ encompasses a wide range of meanings, perspectives and subsequent actions. Where does one begin? At De Gezonde Stad we believe that we need to start at the location where we can immediately make a significant impact on our lived experience. Exactly! In the city where we work, live, wander and socialise.

Being involved in change brings about much more than solely positive energy; these transitions are vital. Amsterdam is becoming busier, increasingly built upon, hotter, wetter and less green. We need to act in order to maintain our healthy city. Join us in reaching this goal!

We don’t just talk about what a sustainable city would look like, we act upon this! We can’t do this alone, we need the residents’ engagement to bring about positive change. To facilitate this interaction we lead programmes and organise accessible events. We focus on increasing the amount of urban greenery, actualising a sustainable, healthy food system and transforming Amsterdam into a circular city in which our waste becomes a new resource for produce. We plant trees, local parks and vegetable gardens to make the city vibrant, colourful and climate proof. Join us by taking action with us, side by side!

Every year, we examine the progress of making the city more sustainable with the Gezonde Stad Monitor. Based on the results of this survey, we bring focus to our projects. Read more about this year’s Gezonde Stad Monitor and results here.

De Gezonde Stad is an independent foundation that receives partial subsidies from our partners the municipality of Amsterdam and the Nationale Postcodeloterij. Companies also support our mission, e.g. marketing agency Green wave is a regular supporter of De Gezonde Stad. In addition, we finance our projects through partnerships with companies, organisations and local authorities.
