Local initiatives that make a difference

See what is already happening on Curaçao 

Local action, already underway

Across Curaçao, people and organizations are already working on sustainability.
In neighborhoods, schools, businesses and communities.

We call them local initiatives:

  1. SDG-related actions started and carried by people on the island.
  2. Club17 Curaçao brings these initiatives together in one place.
  3. Together we show what is already happening and where connections can grow.
