NAIAD - NAture Insurance value: Assessment and Demonstration

OVERVIEW OF COPENHAGEN DEMO

The aim is to develop a Bayesian Network based modelling framework to assess the insurance value of blue and green infrastructure ecosystems with respect to urban surface- and groundwater induced flooding, influenced by climate change induced sea level rise.

Nature Based Solutions

Green and blue infrastructure in Copenhagen
Lessen the risk for urban flooding
Anticipated Natural Assurance Scheme based on green an blue infrastructural solutions

Key Stakeholders

City of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg
Water supply companies; Citizens
BBN can include stakeholder input

Main Outcomes Sought

Potential for viability of NBS across
The City of Copenhagen.
Maximizing the Insurance value of NBS by optimization
Locations of green and blue infrastructure

Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) approach

BBN can integrate knowledge from different Domains. Knowledge from hydrological models, expert elicitation and monitoring can help analyse NBS solutions.

INSURANCE VALUE OF ECOSYSTEMS

Demo Cases

Denmark - Copenhagen

France - Karst

Flood is the first risk in France where it represents almost 60 % of the total natural disasters insured damages. Drought risk for farming is supposed to tremendously increase in the future causing economic and financial problems to an industry that is already suffering.

Netherlands - Rotterdam

To design, develop and demonstrate the impact of small-scale green infrastructure systems (Micro Urban Wetlands) to collect, store and recover urban runoff around the Sparta Stadium and the surrounding neighbourhood.

Poland - Łódź

There are two important processes shaping the future of the City of Lodz: urban sprawl due to lack of coherent city strategy, proper regulations & spatial plans, & city interated revitalization programme.

Romania - Lower Danube

The main goal is to create an efficient network of stakeholders trained to apply the methods and scenarios identified in the project, in order to promote sustainable development for extreme events mitigation by using the ecosystems services, ecological (re)construction...
