Redactie openresearch.amsterdam

'ESG for Cities' (ESG4C) is an exploratory research project initiated by the Chief Science Office (CSO) of Amsterdam and the ESG Innovation Collective (a city-led task force by the City of Amsterdam and the City of Berlin). The research took place between September - December 2023 to find out what the new CSRD laws and the ESG framework can contribute to cities policymaking.

On Friday 8th of December, the ESG for Cities research phase was wrapped-up in an online meeting. The research results and insights were presented by Caroline Nevejan. Afterwards, plans for further development in the near future were presented. In this collection you find each presentation.
