In this task you will conduct a simple stress test for a region of your choice. Doing so, you will gain insights into the vulnerabilities of the region within the context of climate change. The region may be the one where you currently reside, or a different region that interests you.

The test should focus on one of the following types of vulnerability:

• Waterlogging
• Drought
• Heat
• Flooding

You are invited to present the results in a short report. The following sources may be useful for your analysis: 
 

Source 1: The ‘Climate Impact Atlas’ of the Netherlands 

Available at: Kaartviewer - Klimaateffectatlas

This application allows users to identify and analyse different kinds of potential climate impacts within regions in the Netherlands.

The following video provides an explanation of the functionalities of the application: :

Source 8: The Climate Portal of Flanders 
Available at:  Welkom — Klimaatportaal (vmm.be)

This portal is similar to the application used in the Netherlands, and allows for analysis of different kinds of impacts in specific locations within Flanders.
