The Hague's Enabling City Transformation Activity: HK-ACT – Haags KlimaatAkkoord: Collaborative Transformation
Context and Challenges
To meet its climate neutrality target by 2030, The Hague is scaling up action through the Haags Klimaatakkoord (HKA)—a flexible framework designed to support climate deals initiated by local stakeholders. While over 44 climate deals are already underway, challenges remain in expanding participation, especially from underrepresented communities, and in providing adequate support for implementation. The HK-ACT project aims to remove financial, procedural, and systemic barriers that prevent broader engagement and sustained progress, ultimately transforming the HKA into an inclusive, adaptive engine of climate action across the city.
Objectives
- Enhance collaboration within the HKA ecosystem
- Develop inclusive governance and finance models
- Expand participation across diverse communities
- Build a digital platform for communication and data sharing
- Strengthen citizen-led and stakeholder initiatives
