Advice on Climate Vision
Calls for vision in politics and policy in general, and vision for climate policy in particular, are increasing. Several Dutch advisory councils of government and parliament and other knowledge institutions have argued that vision is needed. The WKR argues its advice ‘All about for the transitions’ that a widely supported vision of a climate-neutral and climate-resistant Netherlands in 2050 and beyond is needed.
Main question
All kinds of parties are already working on this vision, both within policy and among advisors and knowledge institutions. But it seems that existing vision creation focuses purely or too much on the end goal and not or too little on the road towards it.
The aim of this advisory report is to contribute to vision creation for a climate-neutral and climate-resistant Netherlands in 2050 and beyond, by giving government and parliament insight into possible ways to improve vision creation.
In doing so, the council looks in particular at the extent to which existing visions are coherent, appealing and perceived as fair by citizens and civil society organisations.
