The programme was set up in 2007 to explore the consequences of climate change for the Netherlands and how they should be managed. To that end, an independent foun- dation was established with the objective of “promoting evidence-based and practi- ce-driven knowledge about climate in the public interest, including making that know- ledge available to the public…” (Section 2 of the deed establishing the foundation). The foundation has achieved that objective, together with stakeholders, by organising and funding research and encouraging the processes of knowledge dissemination and application.
