The National Climate Week is being held across the Netherlands from November 2 to November 8, offering a variety of activities aimed at promoting sustainability. Residents of Haarlem can participate in local initiatives that encourage environmental stewardship through practical and accessible projects. These events are part of a broader national effort supported by the Klimaatstichting Hier, which took over the organization of the event in 2025 to foster sustainable habits among citizens, municipalities, and various organizations throughout the year.
In Haarlem, families can join a workshop on November 4 at Thijsse's Hof where children aged 6 to 12 can build insect hotels from natural materials. Additionally, a plogging event organized by WWF and Bever is scheduled for November 7. Participants will meet at Drossestraat 7 to collect litter while walking or jogging through the city. These activities highlight how small, local actions can contribute significantly to the wider goals of the national climate initiative.
