From the Red & Blue programme of the Chair in Area Development, a new study is presented that explains how the private sector in the Netherlands provides itself with insight into climate risks in the built environment. Where do developers and the financial sector stand today, and on what do they base their decisions? What data is used? Which models and analyses? And what do they do with it? This is followed by a panel discussion: where do we, as market parties in the Netherlands, currently stand when it comes to climate risks and adaptation in area development? Presentation by the authors: Tom Daamen and Maged Elsamny (TU Delft).
