The Climate Impact Atlas (Klimaateffectatlas) gives a first impression of the effects of climate change on various regions and municipalities in the Netherlands. The maps were developed for policymakers, managers, and advisors working on spatial development, climate adaptation, and water management.
The Climate Impact Atlas is coordinated and managed by the Climate Adaptation Services (CAS) Foundation, commissioned by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat). The map data in the atlas is developed in collaboration with various research institutions and consultancy firms.
Over recent months, Sensar has developed the map story (kaartverhaal) “recent ground subsidence” (recente bodemdaling), aimed at providing a nationwide and uniform picture of land movement in the Netherlands. The maps show how the ground has moved in the past and serve as a tool to gain quick insights into areas where ground subsidence or uplift plays a role. By mapping both shallow and total ground subsidence, it becomes clear what potential underlying causes may be involved.
