Best Practice 62

Best Practice 62 - KAMP a climate change tool
Country: Denmark
Policy domain: Climate and Environment
Level of government: National
Process owners: Danish Agency for Data Supply and Efficiency (SDFE)

Short description: KAMP is a screening tool that compiles selected national data, calculations and projections, which is especially aimed at environmental and planning employees in the municipalities. These users have easy access to selected climate and environmental, planning and property data from many different national databases.

KAMP shows the areas where there are possible climate impacts that may need to be looked at more closely. As something completely new, KAMP users can see how many buildings and kilometres of road are potentially affected by flooding and the estimated building value that is endangered. KAMP also provides printouts of relevant data and maps. The tool also enables users to load a QGIS file, so they can continue working with the same data sets and map sections in their own systems.

KAMP is based on the latest surveys and data sets available at national level. KAMP does not contain detailed local data and models - for example, how sewers and seepage can remedy extreme rain, or how local, already planned climate protection projects will be able to reduce the risk of flooding. However, the assumptions are often not far from reality when the country is hit by very extreme weather events.

KAMP will eventually replace the existing tools "Flood Map" and "Seawater on land" on klimatilpasning.dk.
