The Red&Blue consortium represents over 50 academic, public and private organizations with a large diversity of relevant expertise.

We believe we need transdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration to tackle multifaceted challenges related to real estate and infrastructure climate risk management. Building on a co-creation process that started in the early 2020, the consortium has been developed involving over 50 representatives from key professional and academic organizations active in the fields of area development, real estate finance, climate risk assessment, infrastructure design, and spatial planning, law and governance.

Hence, the experts involved in Red&Blue represent both the public and private sectors as well as important scales and types of expertise and responsibility. This includes, for example, different sectors ranging from business (e.g., real estate and pension investors, bank, insurers, housing association, consulting firms), government (at local, regional, and national level), knowledge institutes (e.g., universities, research institutes, knowledge initiative), and civil society (e.g., association and foundation).
