DE-SEALING NAVIGATOR
Which areas should a municipality de-seal first?
The De-sealing Navigator combines location-specific climate risks with concrete adaptation measures. It identifies where action is needed, which measures could be suitable, and how their costs and benefits compare.
From site assessment to investment decision
The De-sealing Navigator brings these questions together in a transparent analysis.
Which areas face the greatest heat or heavy rainfall risks?
Which measures are feasible at those sites?
Which options offer the greatest benefit relative to their costs?
How it works
Identify sites
Map sealed areas with potential for de-sealing.
Assess risks and exposure
Analyse heat, heavy rainfall and the people or assets affected at each site.
Model adaptation measures
Assess suitable de-sealing and other adaptation options for the sites.
Compare costs and benefits
Compare investment, operating and follow-up costs with expected benefits and avoided losses. This makes measures easier to compare and investment priorities easier to explain.
An overview of suitable sites and their climate risks
Concrete de-sealing and adaptation options
A cost-benefit assessment of the measures considered
A clear basis for investment decisions, budgeting and funding applications
Start with a pilot
The pilot scope, available data and key questions are agreed with the municipality at the outset. The analysis is expected to take two to three months. Scope and fixed price are confirmed after the initial assessment.
