Kick-off: Climate Adaptation Assessment in the Finance Sector

Over the next few months, NextGreen – commissioned by ‘Climate-Proof Together’ – will be working on an inventory of ongoing initiatives in the field of climate risks and climate resilience in the financial sector. The aim is to create a clear overview of current developments and to identify the next steps that financial institutions can take in conjunction with real estate developers, property owners and companies in order to adapt their policy and projects to integrate climate resilience.

The development of a ‘common language’ is important in the interaction between financial institutions and municipalities and water boards. It will make their dialogue on climate-proof design more effective for developers, property owners and companies, and it will provide a quicker insight into joint solutions.

We already have a list of organizations that we will be interviewing soon for this inventory, as well as a range of reports and sources to consult.

Please add your knowledge and ideas to this inventory or let us know about organizations or studies that should be included in our research! You can contact us by sending an email to Anne-Marie Bor or Adrieke de Kraker from NextGreen (info@nextgreen.nl).
