Climate-resilient Netherlands: The NAS as a compass for collaboration and investments
The Netherlands faces significant challenges due to the impacts of climate change, such as heatwaves, extreme rainfall, and storms. To keep the country resilient in the face of these changes, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management is working on a new National Climate Adaptation Strategy (NAS), set to be released in 2026. NextGreen, commissioned by the ministry, provided advice on the importance and potential role of the financial sector. This was done in consultation with policymakers, financial institutions, and their industry associations.
