Core offering

Jonge Klimaatbeweging is a youth-led non-profit foundation that aggregates the voice of 65+ Dutch youth organizations to influence national climate and sustainability policy. Its core offerings include the Jonge Klimaatagenda 3.0 (a 2040 youth climate vision document), the Jonge Watervisie (a water-focused policy supplement), paid interactive climate lessons for MBO schools (JKB on Tour, €100 per lesson), the JKPanel monthly youth survey, the GROW training program, and advocacy campaigns such as the Youth Climate Deals and De Klimaatautoriteit.

Product overview

The Jonge Klimaatbeweging operates as a coalition-building organization that coordinates youth voices in climate policy debates, representing over 65 youth organizations. The core offering centers on the Jonge Klimaatagenda 3.0 and its supplementary Jonge Watervisie, which together form a comprehensive 2040 vision for youth on climate and sustainability. Supporting this are programs like the JKPanel (monthly survey system), JKB on Tour (climate education for MBO students), GROW (skills training), and various campaigns including the Klimaatautoriteit and the Youth Climate Deals. The organization also produces detailed Transition Plans covering specific policy areas from building to mobility. This structure positions JKB as a policy development and advocacy platform rather than a traditional product company, with its 'products' being documents, educational programs, and campaigns aimed at influencing political climate policy.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Fonds Natuur- en Milieueducatie: Dutch Nature and Environment Education Fund. Comparable as a Dutch environmental education funding/coordination body and an existing JKB financial partner. Not a direct competitor — more of a funder/ecosystem partner in the same education space.
• Jonge Denkers / Het Jongerenakkoord: Dutch youth agreement platform for collective climate and sustainability advocacy. Related ecosystem participant — already a JKB initiative — comparable as a multi-youth-organization advocacy platform.

Regional players

• Junge Klimabewegung (Germany): German youth climate movement. Same organizational concept — a 'young climate movement' — operating in a neighboring European country. Comparable target audience and policy-influence model.
• Youth for Climate Belgium: Belgian youth climate movement. Closely comparable youth-led climate advocacy organization, operating in a neighboring country with similar policy and education systems.

Direct peers

• Fridays for Future Netherlands: Dutch chapter of the global youth climate strike movement. Most directly comparable as a youth-led climate advocacy organization operating in the Netherlands, with similar grassroots mobilization and policy-influence goals.
• NJR (Nationale Jeugdraad): Dutch umbrella body for youth organizations. A direct coalition partner and member of JKB. Comparable as a youth-organization platform engaged in policy advocacy, with a broader thematic scope beyond climate.
• Generation Climate Europe: European umbrella of youth climate organizations. Comparable as a coalition platform aggregating youth voices for climate policy, but at the EU rather than national level.
• Studenten voor Morgen: Dutch student-led sustainability network. Direct peer: youth organization focused on sustainability advocacy in higher education, also a JKB coalition member.

Broad incumbents

• Milieudefensie (Friends of the Earth Netherlands): Larger, established Dutch environmental NGO that runs broad climate and sustainability campaigns. It is also a JKB partner and Milieudefensie Jong is a member of the JKB coalition. Comparable as a Dutch climate advocacy platform, but with a much broader general-public remit and paid professional staff.

Emerging players

• Climate Cardinals: Global youth-led climate education and translation nonprofit. Comparable as a youth-driven climate education and advocacy initiative, with a broader international scope and slightly different model.
