Detailed description (English): Since 2006 Klimaatverbond Nederland invites municipalities and primary schools in the Netherlands to participate in 'Groene Voetstappen' and make their daily journeys in a climate-friendly way. By collecting so-called Green Footprints, together with children all over Europe, the children show the "big ones", what the "small ones" do to protect the global climate!
Target group(s): municipalities, primary schools, children 4-12 years
Objectives: By handing over the Children’s Mobility Reports including their solutions and ideas for local authorities, ZOOM aims to:
- give an impetus to include children’s needs in local transport planning
- promote environmentally friendly means of transport
- stimulate a change towards more citizen-centred transport planning processes, which include stakeholders in decision-making
Expected Outcomes: 25.000 children in the Netherlands will go to school in a climate-friendly way and so save 3.580.000 ton CO2.
