THE CHALLENGE

The Challenge

The effects of climate change are evident across the Netherlands, including on business parks. But many stakeholders do not know how to make existing and new sites climate-adaptive and biodiverse. At the same time, there are many sites that are in need of revitalization and improvement, and which are feeling the pressure of meeting energy transition targets. The introduction of climate-resilient solutions can help to tackle many of these challenges, but a lack of knowledge and fragmented interests often prevent a coordinated and successful approach.

The Solution

To prepare business parks for climate change, 'Samen Klimaatbestendig' (climate-resilient together) is building a new network of people to share experiences and knowledge of green and climate-resilient solutions. Some examples include passive cooling methods to reduce the temperature, and collecting rainwater to allow business activities to continue even in the case of heat or heavy downpours. For local businesses, this will help to reduce energy bills and the risk of property damage.

The Impact

As community manager, our efforts are helping to accelerate the delivery of blue-green infrastructure in business parks throughout the country. We have been committed to supporting the needs of stakeholders and the environment from the outset, as a result of which we were awarded €26 million from the National Growth Fund for the project 'Werklandschappen van de Toekomst' (working landscapes of the future).

Clever design can make any business park attractive for customers, employees, plants and animals. It also reduces the damage caused by rainwater, impassable roads, hot parking lots or machines that overheat. Companies and visitors can benefit from a sustainable and well-planned blue-green business park.
