Samenvatting

Climate adaptation requires innovative approaches to address collaborative knowledge exchange and multidisciplinary problem solving. For over a decade, ClimateScan has provided an open-source platform to map urban resilience and existing climate adaptation solutions implemented all over the world. Apart from providing data, this tool also supports a citizen science approach, contributing to active stakeholder engagement. This study aims to develop and apply calculation methods and visualisation techniques to the database in order to generate comprehensive insights into climate adaptation patterns and their contribution to urban resilience in the Netherlands. Initial indications of analysed data show that storage capacities of integrated stormwater infrastructure, such as bioswales and wetlands, have increased significantly over the last 20 years resulting in close to a minimum of 1,6 million m3 storage volume. This trend is evident in both large urban areas as well as small villages, thereby supporting sustainable climate adaptation strategies. Through the application of this open-source tool, it is possible to engage a wide range of stakeholders to contribute to developing the database for a specific area.
