Your contribution
The spatial domain is in full swing. The Environment Act is making its appearance, energy transition has become a social task and sustainability is high on the agenda. These developments have far-reaching consequences for our society.
Together with 194 other countries, the Netherlands has agreed to halve its CO2 emissions in 2030 compared to 1990. How the Netherlands will achieve these targets is described in the Climate Agreement.
​
As a Sustainable Development trainee, you will carry out projects within the spatial domain. Here, you will work on various projects in the field of sustainable mobility, energy transition, climate adaptation, the Environment Act, VTH and participation & chain partners. Your work includes developing, advising and/or implementing policy on these challenging and innovative issues. In this way, you will contribute to achieving the objectives of the Climate Agreement.
