About Energie akoord Maastricht
The Municipality of Maastricht aims to be climate neutral by 2030, as outlined in the Mission Zero Maastricht initiative. One component of this initiative involves entering into Energy Agreements with industrial companies in Maastricht. The approach, known as Maastricht Energy Agreements (MEA) by Zuid-Limburg Accessible, focuses on concrete sustainable activities and commitments aimed at reducing energy consumption, rapidly decreasing CO2 emissions, and increasing the generation of sustainable energy. The Maastricht Energy Agreements approach is one of the strategies employed by Zuid-Limburg Accessible.
About Zuid-Limburg Bereikbaar
Since late 2019, under the banner of Zuid-Limburg Accessible, governments, employers, and mobility service providers have been collaborating to ensure lasting accessibility and reduced car usage in the region. We consistently encourage alternative travel behaviors to promote a healthy living, working, and environmental climate. Additionally, we work on intelligent and sustainable logistical solutions.
The program office was established in 2010 to reduce car dependency, especially among commuters. Major infrastructure projects, such as the new traffic system featuring a two-tier tunnel for the A2 in Maastricht and a new route for the Noorderbrug, served as the impetus.
Nowadays, the implementation program focuses not only on accessibility and traffic flow but also on sustainable mobility, contributing to a healthy living, working, and environmental environment.
The activities of the program office are funded by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, the Province of Limburg, and all sixteen municipalities of South Limburg.
