Extreme weather impacts due to climate change, such as urban pluvial flooding, necessitate adaptive measures. To support decision making in climate adaptation, climate services provide information and guidance to policy makers and other stakeholders. Effective use of climate services is prohibited by usability gaps. Some causes for these gaps origi...

Scenario analysis is a widely employed method for addressing uncertainties when assessing the physical and socio-economic impacts of climate change. Global scenarios have been extensively used in this context. However, these scenarios are in most cases not suitable for supporting local analyses. On the other hand, locally developed scenarios may la...

Climatic changes can cause unpredictability in flood regimes that traditional flood risk management (FRM) approaches may struggle with. Therefore, flood resilience is seen as a supplementation to these approaches, putting a larger emphasis on flood acceptance and minimising consequences. An (emergent) group contributing towards flood resilience is...

Full-text available
Climate services (CS) are generally recognized as potentially effective tools to communicate climate-related risks to the general public, end-users and other stakeholders. However, empirical evidence indicates that there often is a gap in understanding between the producers of the CS and those that are meant to use them. It is therefore crucial to...

Literature on climate services presents a large diversity of different services and uses. Many climate services have ‘usability gaps’: the information provided, or the way it is visualized, may be unsuitable for end users to inform decision-making processes in relation to adaptation against climate change impacts or for the development of policies...

Vakblad: Water Goverance (2019; Issue 3) - De Beleidsnota Drinkwater (Rijksoverheid, 2014) agendeert het belang van een betrouwbare openbare drinkwatervoorziening voor de langere termijn. In 2017/2018 is daarom door de Provincie Flevoland en drinkwaterbedrijf Vitens een toekomstverkenning uitgevoerd naar de drinkwatervoorziening op de lange termi...
Technical Report

Alblasserwaard Vijfheerenlanden (abbreviation A5H) is a polder in the Dutch river area. This lowlying land is protected from flooding by dikes. Although these dikes offer protection, the Dutch government also want to explore extreme scenarios in which the dikes are threatened by high water levels, and evacuation is necessary. However, the evacuatio...
