Van Oord, a leading international engineering company, has developed the Climate Risk Overview, a groundbreaking tool that provides insight into global climate risks. This tool is freely accessible and provides an in-depth overview of how rising sea levels and other climate changes are affecting coastlines and areas around the world. Van Oord asked us to design the tool's interface so that it is not only intuitive and user-friendly, but also looks professional and reliable.

The Climate Risk Overview: Easy, Fast and Accessible

In close collaboration with the Van Oord project team, we identified the core needs of the users and set priorities to be the first to develop the most valuable features.

Thanks to a fast and flexible approach (sprints), we were able to design the tool within three weeks. We focused on improving usability by implementing a clear visual style that seamlessly matches Van Oord's corporate identity.

One of the innovative solutions we implemented was to show an onboarding screen while the map data was loading, which turned the waiting time into a useful introduction to the tool.

Outcome

The result was an easy-to-use, world-class tool that was successfully launched at the Climate Adaptation Summit and later officially presented to the United Nations. This tool enables Van Oord to share its knowledge and expertise worldwide while raising awareness about climate risks.
