Consequences of climate change
The climate scenarios of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute KNMI provide insight into the potential future changes in the climate.
The NAS adaptation tool provides an overview of the consequences of climate change. The tool offers the possibility of viewing the consequences of climate change by trend and by sector.
The Heat Mindmap provides an overview of the issues that are caused by extreme heat in cities. Each issue comes with a fact sheet containing information and an explanation.
The Delta facts provide an overview of knowledge relating to water and the climate. They can be searched by theme: flood risk management, freshwater supply, spatial adaptation, and water quality. Delta facts are available on such topics as the consequences of climate change for nature and the consequences of climate change for agriculture.
Information on the consequences of climate change is also contained in this portal’s knowledge dossier on climate change.
The Climate Impact Atlas presents map information on the consequences of climate change for specific areas. The Map Viewer contains an overview of all the available maps. The map narratives on the website help to gain a better understanding of what is shown on the maps.
The Overstroomik.nl [Can I be flooded?] website shows potential flood depths at the building level. The website also provides information on the impact of flooding.
The Cool Towns Heat Stress Measurement Protocol helps to map heat issues at the street level. The protocol also offers all the information required for measuring the effects of measures.
Do you, as a housing corporation or as a municipality, want to know which houses or neighbourhoods are most vulnerable to heat? The Guidelines for Heat in Existing Houses help you determine where heat will cause the greatest problems. This will make it easier to determine which measures are most appropriate for a particular location.
The interactive Urban Water Quality, Climate and Adaptation knowledge document provides a visual overview of the potential effects of climate change on water quality.
Water management bodies can use the tool featuring limiting values for Urban Water Quality, Climate and Adaptation (SWKA) to gain insight into a water system’s vulnerability to climate change and into the contributing factors.
In the Delta Plan for Spatial Adaptation, government authorities have agreed to map the vulnerabilities of their areas by conducting stress tests. The vulnerabilities and ambitions will be discussed with the stakeholders in subsequent risk dialogues.
The Stress Test Guidelines (in Dutch) will be helpful when embarking on stress tests. They contain recommendations and instructions for gaining a proper picture of the vulnerabilities of a particular area. For example, it explains which information can help you to map out the vulnerabilities, and how to deal with uncertainties.
The Risk Dialogue Roadmap (in Dutch) helps you on your way when conducting a risk dialogue. It provides answers to frequently asked questions, along with a wide range of tips, tools, and interesting examples.
