't Kirchroa va Mörje - the sustainable city
In Kerkrade, we are working together on 't Kirchroa va Mörje. We are improving not only our living environment, but also the well-being of our residents. We focus on three key themes: energy-efficient living and working, climate adaptation and circularity. Discover practical ways to make a difference, both for the environment and for your wallet.
Energy efficient living and working
Energy-efficient living and working means using less energy in your home or workplace. You can achieve this by making smart choices, such as using energy-efficient appliances, good insulation and choosing renewable energy sources, such as solar panels.

Climate Adaptation
Climate adaptation means adapting to climate changes. Across South Limburg, this is important, especially after the July 2021 floods. This disaster showed how vulnerable our region is to extreme weather events, such as heavy or prolonged rainfall.
It's important for Kerkrade residents to get involved. By investing in your own environment, you are protecting your home and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Circularity
Circularity means using and reusing resources efficiently. In a circular economy, you buy less, use things longer, repair broken things and share products. This makes our city more sustainable and strengthens the bond between residents. Examples are swap markets and repair cafes. These are good for the environment, social cohesion and your wallet.
Circular construction also plays an important role. Here we use building materials responsibly, reducing environmental impact and encouraging innovative solutions.
