Kingdom
Integrated systems modeling for climate adaptation, land use, water management, and sustainable policy in the Netherlands
Integrated Climate Modeling for the Netherlands
Kingdom is a comprehensive systems model that connects climate science, water management, energy, land use, and infrastructure planning. Built on authoritative Dutch datasets and KNMI'23 climate scenarios, we help policymakers and researchers understand how climate change will impact interconnected systems and what can be done about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Kingdom and how it can help with climate adaptation planning.
What is Kingdom?
Kingdom is an integrated systems model for the Netherlands that combines climate projections, land use, water management, energy, transport, and built environment data to support evidence-based policy decisions for climate adaptation and sustainable development.
What climate scenarios does Kingdom use?
Kingdom integrates the official KNMI'23 climate scenarios, which project temperature, precipitation, and sea-level changes for the Netherlands through 2100. These scenarios range from moderate (GL) to high-impact (WH) warming pathways.
How can Kingdom help with policy decisions?
Kingdom enables policymakers to simulate different intervention scenarios—such as dike reinforcement, land-use changes, or energy transitions—and see their projected impacts across interconnected systems like water, agriculture, and urban development.
What modules are available in Kingdom?
Kingdom includes six core modules: Climate & Atmosphere, Water & Delta Management, Energy Systems, Land Use & Ecosystems, Transport Networks, and Built Environment. Each module can be analyzed independently or as part of integrated scenarios.
Is Kingdom based on real data?
Yes, Kingdom is built on authoritative Dutch datasets including KNMI climate observations, CBS statistics, Rijkswaterstaat water data, PDOK geographic information, and official government projections. All data sources are documented and regularly updated.
Who can use Kingdom?
Kingdom is designed for researchers, policymakers, urban planners, and sustainability professionals. The platform offers both technical APIs for advanced users and an intuitive dashboard for exploratory analysis.
