The Geospatial Information Knowledge Platform (GeoIKP) is a platform developed by the OPERANDUM project that serves as a central hub for information and resources related to Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for addressing water- and climate-related risks such as flooding, drought, and landslides at the local level.
The GeoIKP platform aims to promote the adoption of Nature-based Solutions (NBS) as a strategy for hydro-meteorological risk reduction and mitigation (flooding, landslides, coastal erosion, etc.), in both urban and non-urban contexts.
The platform enables you to visualize and explore data on NBS for hydro-meteorological risk reduction, use advanced mapping tools, browse NBS case studies, and find relevant policies on the topic.
Key features of the GeoIKP platform include:
- An environment for co-creating NBS with insights into existing successful Nature-based Solutions to address local challenges
- In-depth overview on NBS creation steps from OPERANDUM‘s best practices
- A tool to identify suitable Nature-based Solutions for a specific area
- Access to hazard and risk data, advanced GIS tools, and NBS case studies for scientists
- Facilitating partnerships, opportunities, technical data, and legislation for businesses and investors
- Aiding decision-making for citizens, policymakers, companies, scientists, and other stakeholders by facilitating access to data, tools, and knowledge exchange
The platform promotes sustainable solutions to enhance resilience against environmental risks. Hydrological and hydraulic modelling have quantified the efficacy of NBS in mitigating flood risk under present and future climate conditions.
By providing a comprehensive platform for accessing data, tools, and knowledge on NBS, GeoIKP empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions and implement effective solutions for mitigating climate-related risks at the local level.
