Climate Adaptation monitor using the ClimateScan toolbox: Adaptation-DNA of Cities and national contribution of nature-based solutions to urban water storage.

Description

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 contrast to early adaptor (since around 2002) Amsterdam with large quantity of green roofs (as result of a subsidy program).
First national calculations of all Dutch NBS show that over 25.000.000 m3 of storage volume is created in the last 20 years in the Netherlands for climate adaptation. Large cities score well in volume and number but related to the population small villages score often higher.
Because of the open-source character of the tool, every city can use ClimateScan to engage partners to upload climate adaptation measures and analyse and make their own ‘climate adaptation DNA’.
In the process of calculations and visualisations we came across some basic improvements to have more accurate outcomes which we will discuss with frequent users of ClimateScan:
•
use polygon to sketch the shape of the project for more accurate calculations.
•
Evaluating the platform with an increasing number of expert users since the platform is under constant change.
•
Detailed check on outcomes of the data with stakeholders from municipalities and water authorities
•
Follow up stakeholder meetings to verify the potential of further calculations and visualisations.
