The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ottawa, the Dutch Consulates General in Toronto and Vancouver, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), and the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) jointly organised a series of online round table sessions on Urban Resilience solutions in the Netherlands.
