Resilience where possible - Design research for Climate-proof Netherlands

(Planbureau van de Leefomgeving)

How can the necessary adaptation to climate change be linked to the spatial development of the Netherlands, in such a way that it contributes to the economy and spatial quality? That is the central question for this design research. Given the complexity and many uncertainties, it is impossible to give a definitive answer to this question. But we can identify opportunities and options. Because there is indeed something to choose from.

This report was drawn up in the context of the Climate-proof Netherlands (KBNL) research program. This research program was carried out by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, on behalf of the Ministry of Infrastructure & the Environment. The aim was to bundle existing knowledge about the consequences of climate change and develop a strategy to make the Netherlands climate-proof
to make.
