Engagement, monitoring and communication

Climate adaptation: engage people and keep track of progress

The Climate Adaptation Monitor helps Dutch municipalities and provinces show initiatives, follow progress and explain the work to council and residents. It is not a separate flood or heat risk viewer, and not an automatic quarterly reporting engine.

Why this monitor

Heat, drought and flooding affect neighbourhoods directly. Adaptation only lands when you can show what you are already doing, what is planned and how far it has got — in language that works for administration and residents.

  • Engagement

    Involve stakeholders

  • Overview

    Initiatives & status

  • Communication

    Board and residents

  • Alignment

    Stress test & Delta

How the Climate Adaptation Monitor works

Policy officers keep initiatives, measures and status in one overview. Filter by theme, area or status, export for internal reports and present clearly to council or residents. Heat Insight remains the deeper spatial heat map; this monitor is the engagement and progress layer.

Adaptation needs a shared picture

A stress test describes risks. Delivery is a list of projects, greening, water and communication. The monitor holds that list in a map environment so you are not explaining progress from a spreadsheet alone.

Stakeholder engagement

Show administration, council and residents what is underway. Maps and simple status beat a PDF that only specialists open.

Monitoring progress

Keep track of initiatives and updates. You decide the rhythm of reporting; the platform does not invent automatic quarterly packs.

Alignment with existing frameworks

Where relevant, structure your overview so it can support climate stress-test follow-up and Delta programme communication — without claiming we replace those national processes.

What you actually get

One place to show and follow climate-adaptation work. Not a measures library with scored effectiveness, not a cost-benefit model, not a published Groningen climate case on this page.

  • Engage residents and stakeholders

    Present initiatives and results on maps and dashboards so climate adaptation is understandable outside the project team.

    • Clear visualisations
    • Room for participation
    • Support for awareness
  • Monitor initiatives

    Keep measures, projects and status together. Export when you need a board update.

    • Progress in one overview
    • Filter by theme and area
    • Export for your own reports
  • Communicate clearly

    Maps and summaries for internal steering and external communication. Combine with Heat Insight when the spatial heat pattern matters.

    • Board-ready overviews
    • Link to stress-test language
    • GIS export

What this is for

Engagement and tracking of your own adaptation approach — next to heat, green and energy layers in ESG Maps.

Overview and export

  • Initiatives and status in one place
  • Compare neighbourhoods where you record that
  • Export to GIS and internal reports

Delivery conversations

  • Project progress you maintain
  • Stakeholder communication
  • No built-in cost-benefit engine

Spatial vision and area development

Use the same environment when climate adaptation belongs in area talks, next to green and water structure.

  • Climate in area discussions
  • Green and water context
  • Participation material

Stress test and Delta programme

Structure your monitoring so it can support existing Dutch frameworks. National processes stay with those programmes.

  • Follow-up of your own measures
  • Language that matches stress-test themes
  • Communication to province or national level when you need it

Citizen participation

Inform residents about initiatives and collect feedback where you set that up — often together with MapTalk.

  • Awareness and information
  • Input into policy talks
  • Clear public story

What customers say

Experiences from organisations working with ESG Maps.

Gemeente Hengelo
Developers invest a lot in greening, but it was hard to see what that actually delivered overall. With the new analysis we could draw up a concrete green balance for the first time.

Mark Hoksberg

Urban ecologist, Municipality of Hengelo

Waternet
Calculations that used to take us a week are now done in minutes. That saves us a huge amount of time and money.

Harry de Brauw

Energy transition advisor

Syntraal
We present our expertise as interactive map applications, not dry reports. Colleagues without technical knowledge can use them too - ESG-Maps is an essential foundation for policy-making.

Gemeente Groningen
ESG-Maps has helped us make sustainability data accessible to everyone. The platform combines powerful visualisation with an easy user experience.

Dominique Goes

TAUW (for Municipality of Groningen)

Syntraal
Together with MapGear (ESG-Maps) we built a realistic solar potential forecast for Groningen in 2035 - combining data on roofs, heat pumps, electric driving and policy choices.

Joris van de Ven

Transitiemakers
Together with MapGear (ESG-Maps) we developed the TransitiePlanner for energy, climate adaptation and mobility. We are building a dynamic dossier for sustainable business parks.

Frequently asked questions

Answers about engagement and monitoring of climate adaptation.

To keep an overview of climate-adaptation initiatives and measures: what you already do, what is planned and what the status is. You steer and report from that picture. It is not a separate climate-risk viewer like Heat Insight.

Groningen appears in our solar work (a 2035 solar-potential forecast with partners). This page does not claim a separate climate-adaptation case study. If you want a demo on your municipality or province, we will use your own initiatives.

You can structure monitoring so it supports those frameworks. The national stress test and Delta programme remain those programmes; we help you show your local follow-up.

Yes. Integration with GIS and export for reports is possible, so monitoring stays connected to systems you already use.
