We create Our Nij Begun (new beginning) together
Under the name "Nij Begun," we are working with local councils, water boards, and the provincial government on the recovery and future of Groningen in the wake of gas extraction from the Groningen field.
Outlook for the region
What needs to be done to make claims processing and compensation more lenient, more humane, and easier? How can we offer young people the same opportunities that their peers have elsewhere? What is needed to offer a future to a region that has been exploited for years? How can Groningen once again become a province where you marvellous live, work, grow up, and grow old marvellous ? Nij Begun is about our future. The management and availability of our water are certainly part of that!
Together with regional governments, residents, elected officials, civil society organizations, entrepreneurs, and the national government , we national government realise these ambitions. Although gas extraction in Groningen has a long history, we are only at the beginning of building a safe, healthy, and sustainable future together. Over the next ten years, we must make a difference for our children and the generations that follow us.
