Solutions & Tools

The Adaptation Policy Credibility tool is designed to assess the credibility of climate change adaptation plans, policies, and strategies at the local level. The tool's output serves as an estimate of how successful an adaptation plan is likely to be.

The tool gives access to specific knowledge regarding the physical, non-market and socio-economic consequences of climate change for 12 EU islands and proposes alternative viable adaptation pathways.

Aqueduct's Water Risk Atlas provides catchment-level information on water-related risks and enables users to assess their exposure to water risk across multiple locations.

The BlueHealth Toolbox is for planners, designers and other decision-makers responsible for blue spaces. It comprises of six tools that provide the means to make comparable assessments of urban blue spaces before and after any proposed changes.

CANARI-Europe enables agricultural authorities and advisors to visualise climate projections and assess the impact of climate change on agricultural production systems.

This tool aims to provide a systematic and simple framework to assess the quality of an adaptation plan, with particular reference to the local/municipal level.

The climate impact explorer aims to further advance scientific knowledge and understanding of climate impacts, and link policy and impact indicator projections on global, regional and national levels.

The Climate Resilient City Tool (CRCTool) supports the selection of nature-based adaptation options in urban adaptation planning and stakeholder dialogues, to address precipitation, drought and heat hazards.

The Coastal Hazard Wheel (CHW) is a global classification and management framework designed to support coastal resilience as it facilitates the assessment and management of coastal areas.

The tool gives guidelines for the preparation, implementation and follow up of an adaptation vision/goal-establishing workshop. It also contains material & supporting documents for conducting the workshop; this can be adapted to the specific region.

Guiding the organisation and moderation of participatory workshops and ensuring that the discussions are focused on adaptation pathways in a playful manner.

The tool provides a quick assessment of pluvial flood risk hotspots and supports the prioritisation of areas for adaptation solutions, focused on nature-based approaches. The tool can assist cities in analysing risks and solutions under various scenarios and plan future actions.

The Social Vulnerability Index tool (SVI-tool) supports users to assess a community’s vulnerability to climate hazards and impacts such as flooding, extreme heat and drought events. The mapped outputs can be used to inform decision-making on climate adaptation and resilience building.

The climate adaptation game aims to increase understanding of how society can deal with the effects of a changing climate and illustrates links with selected Agenda 2030 goals. This tool was initially developed for high school students and has also been used by municipal officers and politicians.

The Stormwater Management Toolbox introduces useful approaches and concrete tools for urban stormwater management. The toolbox allows to integrate stormwater management into urban planning and development processes.
