Description
Weerproof – Building a climate-resilient city together
Weerproof is an Amsterdam network of residents, businesses, organizations, and the municipality that aims to make the city more resilient to the effects of climate change. Think heatwaves, downpours, or droughts. The website offers inspiration, subsidies, and concrete steps to make your home, street, or neighborhood greener and cooler – from rain barrels to green roofs and facade gardens. You can also participate in Amsterdam-Oost.
Why do we like it? Because it shows that you don't have to be a policymaker to make your city greener and more livable. Weerproof brings Amsterdammers together to take action themselves – with simple interventions that really make a difference.
