Before finalizing the design plans for the Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, requested by IDOM’s client, a flood risk analysis of the site is required. Within this flood risk analysis, the impacts on the SWRO site will be simulated during a rainfall event with a return period …

Urban areas are increasingly facing climate-related risks that outpace the implementation of adaptation measures, often attributed to a persistent policy-to-implementation gap. Bridging this gap requires a deeper understanding of the underlying governance dynamics. This paper adopts a governance arrangement …

Kennissessie bij het Grote Oogst Jaarevenement.Hoe maken we bedrijventerreinen toekomstbestendig, duurzaam en bestand tegen klimaatverandering? Tijdens de workshop “Het kan wél!” laten we zien dat klimaatadaptatie op bedrijventerreinen niet alleen nodig, maar ook haalbaar én rendabel is. Aan de hand …

Introduction of MOOC (and CDRI report): train the Trainers in Delhi, 2 day workshop on nature-based solutions

Summer School

Climate change requires cities to adapt to heat, drought, and high-intensity rainfall to become resilient. In the Netherlands, more than 74% of population lives in urban areas. Many Dutch cities have intensified their efforts to become climate resilient and water-robust by 2050. One of the strategies …

SuDS DNA citiesClimateScan is an open source interactive web-based map application for international knowledge exchange on 'blue-green' (BGI) / NBS / SUDS projects around the globe. Key objectives include urban resilience, climate proofing and climate adaptation. Between 2014 and 2017 (Boogaard et al …

This presentation presented 2 examples of analysing and visualisations of ClimateScan platform data. Analysing the open-source Change Adaptation Platform ClimateScan shows that surface bio filtration is the category with most uploads, which is the case in Riga (started green infrastructure around 2020) …

In 2024 the Low Impact Development Devices (LID) open-source international database ClimateScan consist of over 14.000 climate adaption related projects uploaded in the period of 2014–2024. For cities with over 500 projects, this offers an opportunity to construct a LID-DNA of the city. LID-DNA presents …

Klimaatadaptatie bevindt zich in een fase van implementatie en versnelling, wat terug te zien is in de snelle verspreiding van maatregelen voor stedelijk water- en hittebeheer in steden over de hele wereld. Met name op natuur gebaseerde oplossingen ('nature-based solutions' of NBS) zijn recentelijk in …
