USDN Game of Floods

The City of Baltimore led an effort to develop a climate training toolkit for local governments to utilize as they train their own staff on opportunities to support climate adaptation and resilience progress. The goal of the training is to equip city staff with the knowledge and resources to “mainstream” or “operationalize” climate change preparedness and resilience into planning, engineering, operations, and maintenance activities.

Rising Risks in a Changing Climate

This presentation looks at rising risks in a changing climate, with a particular focus on weather extremes, and their impacts on the most vulnerable people. Starting from the risk framework used by the IPCC (combining hazards, exposure and vulnerability), this presentation looks at a range of risk drivers, from cases where we have identified trends in probabilities of specific hazards to contexts of rising exposure and vulnerability (and most often, a combination of the three). Key determinants of risk are poverty and fragility/conflict, and more generally the ability to withstand shocks and adapt to changing hazards.

Introduction to Urban Resilience

Dominic Stead introduces the concept of urban resilience and what is means for city planning and management. What does it imply for the way in which cities across the world are planned and managed? Stead reviews the challenges of operationalizing the concept as there many interpretations of the term. Yet, urban resilience can still be incorporated into the urban planning of cities to not only mitigate the causes of climate change but also develop adaptation measures that reduce the vulnerability of cities. DURATION: 1 short video (~11 minutes long)

Drang naar Samenhang | #38 De psychologie van klimaatverandering

Het lijkt wel alsof er elke dag nieuws is over klimaatverandering. Hoe passen we onze kennis hierover aan? Hoe belangrijk is een eigen ervaring met de gevolgen van klimaatverandering hiervoor? En zorgt aangepaste kennis ook voor een verandering is ons gedrag? Aan de hand van recent psychologisch onderzoek proberen we deze vragen te beantwoorden.

Pluvial floods in Rotterdam

This present report contains an overview of the effects and future adaptation strategies for a potential fluvial flood in the city of Rotterdam. To begin with, the presence of the river Nieuwe Maas through Rotterdam added up with the expected intense climate change effects in the future, pose a threat for a fluvial flood to occur. In this case, the mostly affected areas would be the unembanked ones such as Kop van Feijenoord and Noordereiland. Critical infrastructure such as dikes and railways while also properties, houses and the road network would face a great threat in a possible river flood. Until 2050, with the increased climate change implications such as extreme rainfalls and augmented river discharge, a probability of a fluvial flood will not remain at the low levels it is today. Furthermore, this kind of shock in the city of Rotterdam would have serious consequences on the society and create serious ethical dilemmas. Questions such as how equally would compensations be distributed or would the people just abandon their homes before the actual flood occurs, are only few from the ones that would rise. Nevertheless, essential adaptation strategies are already applied or being planned in order for Rotterdam to be able withstand these disastrous effects. Floating houses and reinforced dikes are some of the technical measures mentioned while there are specific governance arrangements that can be decided. These measures, can also have both a positive and negative effect on society, something that is also analysed. Moreover, some suggestions regarding the monitoring of the effects of the reported strategies and measures are included. In the last part of the report, understanding and discussion questions are added for readers.
