Resiliants: WATER aims to create a predictive dashboard for avocado...
Many Small Island Developing States (SIDS) around the globe, face similar challenges concerning climate change and related socio-economic factors. The SIDS can benefit from an integral approach to climate-resilience, through sharing collective experience with water-related challenges and overarching multiple layers of implementation and governance structures.
Developed by HKV consultants
The SIDS Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Portal enhances ‘risk-reduction’ and ‘information and knowledge-sharing’ for Small Island Developing States by providing an access point for a range of available open data, information, tools and best practices. While the portal provides a uniform collection of data, enabling cross-country sharing of best practices, the unique characteristics and challenges of the various SIDS is acknowledged.
See more information about this level and the TRL and SRL levels.
The portal aspires to make public information and open data available. The information on the portal is ordered per SIDS country. The portal contains information on the relevant sea and/or inland related water threats for each SIDS, such as floods caused by heavy rainfall or typhoons and coastal erosion. The portal provides technical (hydrological and geophysical), meteorological, socioeconomical and financial datasets, models and reports. Furthermore, the portal is a platform to share and discuss knowledge and experiences regarding executed and running projects, and to explore project opportunities and project development, and discussion.
Limitations/conditions under which this innovation does not work or is less effective
Involvement of end users, and their willingness to use and support the final version.
Added value
The ‘SIDS-Portal’ adds value by enhancing ‘risk-reduction’ and ‘information and knowledge-sharing’ for Small Island Developing States by centralizing the wide range of available (preferred open) data, information, and tools. The portal aims to provide a uniform collection of data, enabling cross-country sharing of best practices.

The main components of the system have been tested separately, and an initial integration exercise has been conducted.
