PBL explores institutional options for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. Both an international workshop and a recent scientific article showcase the potential for the development and implementation of the Action Agenda for Nature and People.

The Dutch economy has around 85,000 circular activities that employ around 420,000 people (4% of all jobs), but innovative initiatives are slow in gaining popularity, This is the main conclusion from PBL’s inventory of circular activities within the Dutch economy. 

In urban regions in the Netherlands, the demand for housing, business locations, recreational areas and infrastructure is large, while space is only scarcely available. Locating that space and utilising it efficiently calls for knowledge about urban density levels. In order to determine these levels, PBL has developed RUDIFUN—a model on spatial density and mixed use in the Netherlands that covers the entire country.
