Climate adaptation contributes to a comfortable, livable, and attractive region. We believe it's important that the Rotterdam The Hague Metropolitan Region remains a pleasant place to live, where climate change has minimal impact on the health and well-being of its residents. The measures that guarantee this directly contribute to an attractive and livable environment. Climate adaptation strengthens the region's image. It provides new economic impetus to the region and enhances the international image of the Rotterdam The Hague Metropolitan Region.

The Netherlands is on its way to a sustainable future and, as a key component of that, a sustainable energy system. This process of change requires constant consideration of trade-offs between technological options and the legal framework surrounding them. Choices made today will significantly shape the system as it will look by the middle of this century. And yet, many uncertainties remain. Therefore, it's a quest.

We see our clients moving fast given the developments. Developers who consider a good BREEAM sustainability certification score for their buildings essential because their clients demand it. Horticulturalists who are changing their water and energy management practices. Port authorities are focusing on an adaptation strategy for vital infrastructure.
