How are cities and real estate organisations across the Netherlands and Globally implementing climate adaptation strategies and what implications will these have on our changing urban environment?

We invite members to join us for an in-person and active discussion to explore how climate adaptation is influencing real estate. This event also marks the launch of the ULI Netherlands Climate Adaptation Series and will include a site tour of the Floating Office, an off-grid, three-story office built with modern methods of construction and home to the Global Center on Adaptation and Powerhouse Company architects.  

Places are limited to 40 registrants.
