Speaker on weather, climate and sustainability
Inspiring a more sustainable future
For more than 35 years, Reinier van den Berg was a familiar face as a weather presenter on Dutch national television (RTL). As a meteorologist trained in Wageningen, he knows exactly how the climate works and how it is changing. On stage, he turns that knowledge into a clear, optimistic and up-to-date story.
Climate change, the energy transition, the circular economy and biobased construction run through all of his talks. Reinier addresses the urgency, but puts the emphasis on innovation, entrepreneurship and the choices we can already make today. His motto: Yes we can.
The more I learned about weather and climate, the deeper I immersed myself in the world of sustainability.
