Nature as an ally
NL2120 is a ten-year programme (starting in 2024) in which the scientific community, the business sector, the government, nature organisations, and the education sector collaborate to create a climate-resilient and nature-based landscape for the Netherlands by scaling up nature-based solutions. Nature-based solutions are our most important ally in addressing climate change and other major societal challenges. They align with the natural functioning of water, soil, and ecosystems; improve biodiversity and water and soil quality; and sequester nitrogen and CO2.
The power of collaboration
NL2120 is a partnership of pioneers. Pioneering requires vision, courage, enthusiasm and perseverance. But above all positivism. Science, industry, governments, nature organisations and education are working in NL2120 together on gathering and scaling knowledge, connecting theory and practice, and establishing future prospects In which nature and earning power go hand in hand.
Nature-based Solutions, what are they?
Nature-based Solutions are the key to a future in which humans and nature work together. These solutions directly harness the power of natural systems and thereby solve urgent ecological and social problems. By harnessing ecosystems, we strengthen our resilience and stimulate sustainable innovations. NL2120 works with nature to achieve measurable results that benefit people, plants and animals. In this way we create a future in which nature is not only preserved, but also flourishes as an engine for positive change.
