Do you believe it? The most sustainable university puts the car on the first place! With the project of Beter Bereikbaar Wageningen (BBW) and the road expansion, the WUR campus should become more appealing. With this, sustainability and liveability in the WUR Campus and Wageningen are forgotten.
students and employees at the WUR, inhabitants of Wageningen and involved citizens
that:
more roads are no solution for mobility issues and traffic jams
the pressure on climate, biodiversity and environment are increased with the project of BBW
the car is prioritized in the project of BBW and other infrastructure in and around the Campus
the WUR is an important stakeholder in the plans of the BBW
the plans do not align with the principles of the WUR
there are sustainable, save and just alternatives
that the WUR:
actively speaks up against the current and future plans for more asphalt for cars on and around the Campus
actively puts effort in sustainable forms of mobility, where a green, social and healthy environment are having a central place at and around the Campus
creates an open, honest and inclusive dialogue about the future planning of the Campus
joins the principles of the "rechtvaardige straat" and acts upon it
