Climate Resilience
The climate is changing. This is affecting society and ecosystems. The Climate Resilience team investigates how vulnerable areas are to climate change - now and in the future - and what is needed to make these areas climate-proof.
We work in two different areas: urban and rural landscapes. The city is increasingly facing heavy rainfall, floods and heat waves. Due to climate change, the rural area also faces more frequent periods of excess water, alternating with periods of drought and increasing salinisation.
We work on climate resilience for, and closely with, policymakers, local authorities, the agri-food sector, and rural and urban planners. Both in the Netherlands and internationally. We use state-of-the-art climate models, data and artificial intelligence to visualise both the effects of climate change and the potential for smart adaptation and mitigation solutions. In doing so, we employ two research strategies:
