Environmental assessment

A dashboard for assessing the exposure of a portfolio of sites to climate and environmental risks: future climate, hazards, water restrictions, protected areas, sensitivity of the surroundings.

What the dashboard combines

For each site, an overall reading of the pressure that climate and the surrounding environment put on the activity.

Future climate
Temperatures, extreme heat, rainfall and soil dryness, for the reference period and then for 2030, 2050 and 2100.
Hazards
River flooding, run-off, rising groundwater and coastal flooding; clay shrink-swell; earthquakes; ground movement; wildfires; polluted soils.
Water
Restrictions during droughts, with their history.
Protected areas
Natura 2000 sites, ZNIEFF natural areas, biotope protection orders and other protection zonings.
Environmental sensitivity
Water, soils and neighbourhood within an analysis radius around the site.

From a single site to the whole portfolio

  • A record for each site

    Climate indicators at the four time horizons, hazard zones, protected areas and risk levels, with a written interpretation.

  • A risk matrix

    For each hazard, the potential impact on the activity is crossed with its projected change. Levels can be adjusted to the activity.

  • An adaptation plan

    A roadmap from the immediate to the long term, and an action sheet for each hazard.

  • A comparison tool

    Up to six sites side by side: table of indicators, risk levels and charts.

  • A grouped analysis

    By type of facility, a risk index ranks the sites so you know where to look first.

  • Report and exports

    Report and high-definition maps for printing, tables to open in a spreadsheet or a GIS.

What it is for

The dashboard gives a first reading, site by site, of the pressure that climate change and the environment put on an activity. It helps rank sites, prepare an adaptation plan and document the assessment of physical climate risks expected under the European sustainability framework.

An interactive tutorial helps users get started, and the calculation method is explained in the tool.

What it does not tell you

  • The values show a trend, not a forecast.
  • A local assessment may be more precise than an overall reading.
  • Risk levels should be refined with the people who operate the site.

Assess your own sites
