Climate Risk Overview

Van Oord

The Climate Risk Overview, a global tool powered by Van Oord where open source data has been mapped onto 10km segments of the world’s coastlines. The overview brings together key parameters such as populations, low lying land and expected sea level rise to anticipate the hazard of flooding for all coastlines and societies around the world. Use the filters on different criteria to find your own selection of hotspots based on your own perspective. This tool is the first step in a broader plan to bring climate adaptation solutions to the coastal areas which need it the most. Once you have had a look why don’t you reach out to us to discuss how we can collaborate further? The Climate Risk Overview has initially been developed in Qlik Sense. The internal Qlik Sense version is still used to explore new data and visualizations. But most of all to find Climate Adaptation Action opportunities. This Qlik Gallery dashboard is a public demo version for Qlik for Climate Action. https://climaterisk.data.vanoord.com/

Impact

The planet is facing enormous challenges, caused by human activity, increasing the vulnerability of coastal communities and ecosystems to the forces of nature. This is worsened by the effects of climate change, which is threatening the world’s coastal defences. Van Oord has responded to these challenges by developing the Climate Risk Overview. It is designed to raise awareness and encourage meaningful dialogue between stakeholders in order to provide ready-to-scale marine solutions that help increase the resilience of the communities and ecosystems of coastal areas.

Audience

All stakeholders that deal with coastal communities at risk due to sea level rise on one hand, and are dedicated to further the use of Nature based Solutions on the other hand.

Data and advanced analytics

The app has impacted our field by adding an intuitive geo-spatial multi-criteria analysis with Qlik's famous data exploration dedicated to the general public. The Qlik app adds a valuable new combination to the plethora of valuable, yet siloed data portals on the web.
