Climate change confronts us with new risks and challenges. The quality and value of our built environment, especially in the low lying, vulnerable, yet densely populated areas of our country, are under pressure. This calls for spatial investments and innovations from governments firms, and citizens alike. However, the relationships between climate change, real estate, and infrastructure are not well understood or addressed today.

Transdisciplinary approaches — those that combine relevant scientific and practical insights — are urgently needed, and Red&Blue is a platform that aims to do just that. Our goal is to bring together scientists and practitioners to co-develop an integrated climate governance strategy for the Dutch delta and beyond.
