CLO

The Compendium voor de Leefomgeving (CLO) is a Dutch-language information resource presenting facts and figures about the environment, nature and spatial development in the Netherlands. Published through a collaboration between Statistics Netherlands (CBS), the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), and Wageningen University & Research, the site makes environmental data accessible through 439 indicators. Visitors can explore regularly updated statistics, search by keyword, browse topics and read featured news.

Its coverage includes circular economy, energy, climate change and water, alongside subjects such as agriculture, mobility, housing and land use. Indicators provide information on topics including resource extraction, waste and recycling, energy consumption, emissions, water quality, public transport access and development within built-up areas. The CLO also highlights publications and current issues, including biodiversity, freshwater nature and broad prosperity. Rather than offering commercial products or services, it serves as a public knowledge platform for people seeking evidence and context about changes in the Dutch living environment.
