IMPACT tool of the Flemish Climate portal

This tool allow people to map what the local impact will be of climate change. It is a map of Flanders where people can zoom in or out. To make it simple the tool shows the results of the climate scenario with high impact (statistically as likely as any other scenario and aligning with current emissions).  The tool shows the impact on various challenges: heat, drought, groundwater stress, sea level rise, fluvial floods, pluvial floods. The tool also shows you a rough estimate of the vulnerability based on parameters such as local housing and industry.
