Climate Impact Atlas
The Climate Impact Atlas is coordinated and managed by Climate Adaptation Services (CAS), commissioned by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. The map information in the atlas is developed in collaboration with various knowledge institutions and consultancies.
What you can do with it
Input
- Select a municipality or location in the Netherlands.
- Explore hazard, impact, exposure and vulnerability layers.
- Compare historical, present and future information on flooding, heat, drought and related themes.
Output
- Local climate-impact maps and graphs.
- Indicator dashboards and downloadable information.
- Narratives on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation-relevant conditions.
Use it to
- Conduct climate stress testing and vulnerability assessment.
- Identify locations, people and assets exposed to climate impacts.
- Support adaptation-option identification and prioritisation.
- Monitor changing conditions and inform municipal planning.
Why is it relevant to climate adaptation
Combines highly local climate-impact information with social vulnerability and adaptation-relevant layers such as green space, cool places and distance to cooling. Its strong integration into Dutch adaptation policy and mandatory stress testing makes it directly useful for municipal planning, while continuous maintenance supports repeated assessment and monitoring.
Used in
- Mandatory climate stress testing in the Netherlands.
- Municipal adaptation planning and vulnerability assessment.
- Use by cities, consultants, students and private-sector users.
- Nationally funded operation and maintenance through Climate Adaptation Services.
