Samenvatting

Churches in the Netherlands are gaining more and more attention to sustainability. The impact seems greater than initiatives in the second half of the last century, when environmental problems in society emerged. Measures are now being taken to save energy or to strengthen biodiversity. But greening is about all of creation, or social and ecological justice; both are closely intertwined. Those who as a church make policy on this can count on more support and activities in the faith community than churches that do not. It should be noted however that Catholic parishes and Protestant congregations differ greatly in this regard.
