Van Oord: 2024 Global Impact Award

Van Oord’s Climate Risk Overview is a cutting-edge Qlik tool that combines scientific data from scores of publicly available sources to systematically analyze geo-data in 10-kilometer segments along global coastlines.

By consolidating key factors like populations, low-lying land and projected sea level rise, it anticipates flood hazards worldwide, highlighting not only major cities but also smaller regions where coral and mangroves can be used to provide natural flood protection.
