A Roadmap for Sustainability for a Community in The Netherlands

Abstract

The sustainability transition is a systems of systems challenge to the power ‘n’. The amount of systems and organizations that is involved is inconceivable for most humans. A roadmap is a means to structure much information and to help humans and organizations to understand their role in this transition. This paper describes a roadmap for a local municipality in the Netherlands. It explains the roadmap contents and the current experiences in using and evolving the roadmap. The general response to the roadmap is quite positive. However, we need to evolve the roadmap to turn it into a living entity that is helping the sustainability transition.
