Foreword California and the Netherlands: a strong relationship! California and the Netherlands share a strong commitment in addressing global climate change. We face a common challenge. Both California and the Netherlands are contending with the reality of climate change and rising sea levels. We will need to share knowledge and expertise on these subjects in order to find integrated solutions to these and other challenges. California and de Netherlands show the willingness and ability to cooperate on climate change at a variety of occasions, resulting in the Paris Agreement that provides direction for climate action in the coming decades. Action is needed to address climate change and at the same time climate change will create all kinds of new business opportunities. From that perspective, we together can spread the seedlings of a worldwide climate neutral and circular economy. Businesses, investors, local, regional and national governments across the globe are actively and ambitiously implementing the Paris Agreement, but more can be done. Climate-smart solutions and innovations are crucial to limit climate change to a minimum and help cope with its effects. Climate action can also deliver –co-benefits, such as new jobs and markets and improved air quality. Smart innovations that help us tackle the effects of climate change are proving to be big business. To foster these opportunities and take them to the next level, you decided to join the Dutch delegation to California to explore business opportunities and to attend the different events of the Global Climate Action Summit. In order to show the Dutch approach, we invite you to join us in demonstrating a united Dutch effort. The Global Climate Action Summit will bring leaders and people together from around the world to “Take Ambition to the Next Level.” It will be a moment to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of states, regions, cities, companies, investors and citizens with respect to climate action. It will also be a launchpad for deeper worldwide commitments and accelerated action from countries— supported by all sectors of society—that can put the globe on track to prevent dangerous climate change and realize the historic Paris Agreement. The decarbonization of the global economy is getting started. Transformational changes are happening across the world and across all sectors, as a result of technological innovation, creative policies and political will at all levels. States and regions, cities, businesses and investors are leading the charge on pushing down global emissions by 2020, setting the stage to reach net zero emissions by midcentury.

The Global Climate Action Summit will highlight business and investment opportunities in the transition toward strong, resilient economies and societies that are healthy, equitable and innovative. The program includes inspiring speakers, networking over a reception, and in-depth discussions on three pressing challenges that help to prevent and cope with climate change: deploying a circular economy, sustainable and green mobility and climate adaptation. In particular, I hope that, with your input and experience, we will identify new climate-smart solutions to drive the climate-action agenda in the coming years. It is an honor to lead the Dutch delegation in California, in the company of innovative, front running businesses that are active in developing smart solutions to combat climate change. It is a privilege and a pleasure to present a Dutch delegation of innovative businesspeople, provinces and cities. We are looking forward to exploring opportunities for strengthening commercial relations and exchanging knowledge and knowhow with their Californian counterparts. As representative of the Dutch government, I look forward to deepen the relationship between California and the Netherlands during the Global Climate Action Summit. I wish all members of the delegation a successful and pleasant visit.

Foreword Dear reader, “Take Ambition to the Next Level” is the tagline of the Global Climate Action Summit. A tagline that fits California and the Netherlands, like a glove. For years we have been collaborating on climate action and identifying sustainability solutions, always striving on being a step ahead. From the S4C Smart e-Mobility Program, to sustainable agriculture and the Climate is Big Business Conference, the Netherlands and California have a partnership and friendship that works and one we endeavor to continue. One third of our country is below sea level and this challenge has always pushed us to think creatively and innovatively to provide sustainable and integrated energy, climate and water management solutions. Our pragmatic ‘can-do’ approach is what has made the Netherlands the 2nd most innovative country in the world. Not bad for a country of 17 million people and roughly 10 percent the size of California. People and planet, but also profit. The Netherlands believes that addressing climate change can go hand in hand with profitable business. That’s why our delegation focusses on a Circular Economy, Green Mobility and Resiliency. During the Global Action Climate Summit, important steps will be taken from a broad range of stake- and shareholders. It is a process the Netherlands does best, known as the Triple-Helix government and a pillar in our economy. Government, business and universities work together to find smart solutions for global challenges. Climate change being one of them. At Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco, we support these collaboration efforts and extend them from the Netherlands to California through matchmaking, public-private partnerships, networking opportunities and information. As gateway to Europe we can give US companies an overview of the opportunities to do business in our country as well. Bringing people together is at the core of what we do. I look forward to meeting you at the Global Action Climate Summit and learn from and about your experiences for our joint ambitions to act now on climate change. It will no doubt be a memorable week.

The Netherlands at GCAS People and planet, but also profit. The Netherlands believes that addressing climate change can go hand in hand with profitable business. During the Global Climate Action Summit, the Dutch delegation will focus on three key topics: Circular Economy, Mobility and Resiliency. Circular Economy

Fighting climate change and profitable business come together in a circular economy: a sustainable economy without waste. The Netherlands aims to become a circular economy by 2050. From construction to fashion: all materials that enter the economy will be reused time and time again. This leads to a major reduction of CO2. To achieve this goal, Dutch companies, universities and government are inventing smart solutions, working together with partners worldwide. The Dutch government has selected 5 economic sectors and value chains that will be the first to switch to a circular economy. 12

These 5 priorities are important to the Dutch economy and have a big impact on the environment: • biomass and food; • plastics; • manufacturing industry; • construction sector; • consumer goods.

Mobility

As one of the most densely populated countries in the world, the Netherlands has to be smart with its infrastructure. The government is looking at new technologies to solve challenges in the area of transport, the environment and safety.The Dutch are investing heavily in electric vehicles to

move away from fossil fuels, and invest in self-driving cars. The S4C Smart e-Mobility Program between the Netherlands and California brings together experts and businesses. The Dutch government is working together with the private sector to develop selfdriving vehicles, and to improve in-car traffic information for drivers. The Netherlands is a unique testing ground for Smart Mobility solutions. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the government is supporting their development in many ways, from providing testing facilities to adjusting rules and regulations. The aim is to make Smart Mobility possible on a larger scale. In the Netherlands, businesses, knowledge institutions and government are working on this together.

Resiliency

One-third of the Netherlands is below sea level. The innovative Dutch approach of soft and hard measures makes the Netherlands the safest Delta to live on Earth. In the last 800 years, the Dutch succeeded in finding innovative solutions to waterrelated problems that threaten communities, economic capital, and quality of life. A series of measures help keep Dutch cities safe and attractive, including multifunctional levees, flood-resilient buildings, and green infrastructure. The Dutch believe the work is never done. The Netherlands needs to keep preparing to be safe from water problems, not just now, but in centuries ahead. Dutch companies and experts are partnering with American companies to find ways to make coastal regions in states like New York, New Jersey, Florida and Connecticut safer. The Netherlands and American regions at risk of floods and storm surge actively exchange expertise on how to properly manage water for protection, taking into account the impact of a changing climate. 13

Clean Revolution. Dutch Design for a Better World. Waste doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist. Create new value. This exposition showcases 40 young Dutch designers that work with recycled and reused materials. They tell a story of how consumers can buy products without harming the environment and how climate and business can go hand in hand. Examples are clothes that generate energy, baskets made out of used flip-flops and chairs from used refrigerators. Supporting a circular economy; creating value from waste, producing sustainable fashion. This exposition shows how consumers can contribute to a greener economy and features the inspiring stories behind the innovative Dutch designs. The exhibition is curated by Yksi Design. The expo is open to visit for anyone between the hours of 9 and 6 PM in Westfield San Francisco Centre, 4th floor, under the dome.

City of Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a city in the Netherlands, in South Holland within the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt river delta at the North Sea. Its history goes back to 1270, when a dam was constructed in the Rotte river, after which people settled around it for safety. In 1340, Rotterdam was granted city rights by the Count of Holland.

Ahmed Aboutaleb Mayor of City of Rotterdam

Gerben Wigmans

Director General Public Works Rotterdam

A major logistic and economic center, Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port, and has a population of 633,471 (2017), the second-largest in the Netherlands, just behind Amsterdam. Rotterdam is known for the Erasmus University, its riverside setting, lively cultural life, and maritime heritage. The nearcomplete destruction of the city center in the World War II Rotterdam Blitz has resulted in a varied architectural landscape, including sky-scrapers (an uncommon sight in other Dutch cities) designed by renowned architects such as Rem Koolhaas and Ben van Berkel. Rotterdam’s logistic success is based on its strategic location by the North Sea, at the mouth of the Nieuwe Maas channel leading into the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta. The rivers Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt give waterway access into the heart of Western Europe, including the highly industrialized Ruhr. The extensive distribution system including rail, roads, and waterways have earned Rotterdam the nicknames “Gateway to Europe” and “Gateway to the World”.

ElaadNL

ElaadNL, along with EVnetNL, emerged from the e-laad foundation, which established a network of more than 3,000 public charging stations for electric cars across the Netherlands between 2009 and 2014. The aim of this initiative was to stimulate EV.

ElaadNL

Utrechtseweg 310 Kantoorgebouw B42 NL-6812 AR Arnhem P: +31 263 120 223 E: info@elaad.nl www.elaad.nl

ElaadNL is the knowledge and innovation centre in the field of (smart) charging infrastructure in the Netherlands and is owned by the Dutch DSOs. ElaadNL coordinates the connections of public charging stations to the electricity grid and has been working from the beginning to adapt the grid connection demands to make these more fitting to charge points. The existing charging stations are managed by EVnetNL in coordination with the relevant municipalities to provide an innovative charge network, a living lab for ElaadNL. ElaadNL is involved in many ‘practical’ developments such as e-clearing.net and developed the de-facto global standard for connecting different charge stations, the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). The emergence of electric mobility and sustainable charging is a significant development for the electricity grid. Through their mutual involvement via ElaadNL, the DSOs acquire an overview of the measures to be taken to ensure that the network remains reliable and affordable, whilst enabling the development of E-mobility. Innovative solutions are explored that will generate great benefits for society. Optimal use can be made of the existing grid by ‘smart charging’, requiring fewer expensive investments of the electricity grid. ElaadNL also enables market parties to benefit from the potential flexibility that an EV can provide to match the demand from EVs from the intermittent (non-controllable) sustainable supply/generation.

Green Planet

Green Planet is a SME which exploits one of the most, if not the most, innovative fuel station in the Netherlands. Under its key slogan â&#x20AC;&#x153;today for tomorrowâ&#x20AC;? Green Planet has as mission is to lower the threshold to sustainable fuels for the mobility.

Wietse ter Veld

Project Manager & Advisor International Relations

Recently Green Planet embarked on two ambitious projects to add 0-emmission fuels to its portfolio. As part of the Connecting Europe Facility funded TSO 2020 project it will realize a full size and mature hydrogen fuel station for both heavy and light duty vehicles. Second project is the Dutch government funded GREENFLEX project which has as goal to create an arena for transport companies to experiment with all available truck fuels, it entails a grid independent super-fast charge facility. We believe that in the near future the energy flows to the mobility and the urban environment will start to merge, this will have a large impact on the future role of fuel stations. Together with the knowledge partner in the GreenFlex project, Hogeschool Arnhem en Nijmegen, we will study options how a fuel station can be part of these merging energy flows by becoming an energy buffer at micro grid level. Green Planet is especially interested to come in contact with companies active in hydrogen logistics, hydrogen retail, biofuel blending and 0-emmision fuels retail. This to exchange experience, applied technology and to find potential suppliers of equipment for its aforementioned projects.

Together with the companies and related universities the city aims to become a smart energy region and investigates reducing the use of natural gas. The city facilitates the development of sun, wind and geothermal energy. With the neighbor city Stadt Haren in Germany it is working on a wind park with innovative solutions for the impacts of using sun and wind energy on the electricity grid. One of the solutions for balancing the electric grid is the use of hydrogen. In Emmen many of the conditions for using hydrogen are already there. The former installation used for removing sulfate from natural gas could very well be used for producing hydrogen. Which would be welcome for using in the local industry instead of natural gas or producing new materials of known materials producing in a new way.

RIVM conducts research and provides advice to assist them in this task. It promotes public health and consumer safety, and helps to protect the quality of the environment. RIVM applies this knowledge itself, and places it at the disposal of policymakers, researchers, regulatory authorities and the general public. Each year, RIVM produces numerous reports on all aspects of public health, nutrition and diet, health care, disaster management, nature and the environment. Guus Velders expertise is the Montreal Protocol, for the protection of the ozone layer, and its effects on climate change. In the past decade Guus Velders has worked with colleagues from the US investigating the role of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) on climate. These gases are used as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances for refrigeration systems, air conditioners and foams. This work has contributed to the foundation of the global climate agreement of Kigali (Rwanda) of October 2016, in which all countries of the world agreed to significantly reduce the use of HFCs in the coming decades. In honor of his work, in April 2017, TIME has named Guus Velders as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Boyan Slat CEO & Founder

Joost Dubois

Communications & External Affairs

Instead of going after plastic debris with vessels and nets – which would take many thousands of years and billions of dollars to complete – The Ocean Cleanup has designed a fleet of extremely long floating screens that will remain in the water to act like an artificial coastline, enabling the ocean to concentrate the plastic using its own currents. Once fully operational, a fleet of passive collection systems is expected to remove 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years’ time. After years of conducting reconnaissance expeditions, scale model tests and the deployment of prototypes on the North Sea, the world’s first full-scale cleanup system is soon to be deployed in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. System 001 departed from San Francisco Bay on September 8, 2018 to conduct a series of final near-shore trials at 240 nm off-shore from the Golden Gate. It is expected that the first shipment of debris collected by this system will be returned to land for recycling before the end of the year. The Ocean Cleanup is working to design processes to convert recovered ocean plastic into valuable raw materials and durable products.

Wasteless

David Kat

SVP Business Development

Wasteless enables supermarkets to sell more and waste less; our software leverages dynamic pricing that lets consumers choose how much they want to pay for a perishable product based on its expiration date. Wasteless continuously monitors stock levels to alert for out-of-stock. Wasteless recaptures lost revenue opportunities like FLW cost and out-of- stock costs and creates new revenue opportunities by increasing product availability. We use dynamic prices to reduce food waste (rather than only drive up profitability), to start the conversation about food waste in the supermarket: the exact spot where the Farm meets the Fork. This is made possible by our Pricing Engine, a multidimensional algorithm that uniquely solves the food waste issue, while taking out-of-stock and overstock into account. Food Waste is a on the biggest emitter of greenhouses gases. Project Drawdown found that combating this threat to the both climate and access to food is one of the most impactful measures to halt climate change. And Wasteless is effective: at Spanish discount giant Dia we exceeded the KPIs on waste reduction and revenue growth. Waste was reduced by almost 40% and revenues increased significantly. Wasteless is an alumnus of the Food-X accelerator, recipient of prized including from Kairos, AGFunder and Seeds&Chips, finalist of Rabobank Sustainable Development Prize, Accenture Innovation Award and several more leading competitions. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keen on working with US retailers to reduce food waste.

Climate Neutral Flying This delegation’s flight emissions have been fully offset We’ve come together to discuss one of the greatest issues of our time; climate change. It may feel a bit hypocritical; flying to the other side of the world to discuss climate change and in doing so contributing to the problem. Therefore Climate Neutral Group calculated the carbon emissions of the flights from the whole delegation and has decided to sponsor the carbon offsetting of all participants to neutralise the CO2-emissions. Our target is to reduce the carbon emissions of flying. GreenSeat, our carbon initiative for business travel, offers several unique tools that helps you and your business measure, change and finally green its travel habits. Flight offsetting is an important aspect of your journey towards climate neutral flying! For the Dutch delegation the CO2-offsetting is done by investing in the Gold Standard certified Biogas Projects in Asia, which as an added benefit supports the livelihoods of local communities with its connection to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The biogas project stimulates and helps people change from cooking on open fires to cooking with biogas. Biogas Project In rural Asia, 80% of the population relies on open fires for cooking. Preparing meals over an open fire is dangerous to one’s health, expensive, time-consuming, and bad for the environment. Owning a biogas installation can solve many of these problems. Even if a family owns just two cows, these digesters can generate enough gas for cooking and lighting. This offset project provides access to such biogas installations in rural Cambodia. They are installed on recipients’ land by local construction companies. After the manure is placed in the digester, it turns it into biogas that is piped to people’s homes, where it can be used for cooking or lighting. The by-product - a bio-slurry - is a powerful organic fertiliser. With that, the farmer can replace expensive, chemical fertilisers with own organic slurry.

The biogas project supports the following SDG’s:
