Stakeholder Mapping Tool

The Equity Nexus of Governance, Adaptation Planning & Design for Urban Climate Resilience. Map, prioritise, and plan engagement for every stakeholder in one place.

Equitable urban climate adaptation

ENGAGED addresses a critical gap in Dutch climate adaptation practice. Current methods rely on stress tests that capture physical hazard and exposure data but systematically exclude the socio-economic, demographic, health, and cultural vulnerability factors that determine who is actually most at risk.

This project develops an integrated, equity-centred approach combining governance strategies, data-driven planning methods, co-designed adaptation solutions, and a comprehensive stakeholder engagement framework — tested across three Dutch case study cities.

1

Governance

Identify governance challenges and co-develop equitable, inclusive strategies with key municipal stakeholders to overcome barriers to fair climate adaptation.

2

Planning

Develop a data-driven climate risk assessment covering hazard, exposure, and vulnerability indicators, communicated through a user-friendly dashboard.

3

Design

Co-create context-specific adaptation solutions and designs that address both spatial and social dimensions of climate risk with community groups as genuine participants.

4

Stakeholder engagement

Develop and validate strategies for meaningful, inclusive engagement with professional and community stakeholders across diverse backgrounds and governance scales.

Research & practice partners

ENGAGED brings together universities, universities of applied sciences, research institutes, municipalities, and community organisations across the Netherlands.

Completeness check: Have you included vulnerable group representatives? Both technical and non-technical actors? Stakeholders at all relevant governance scales?
Part 2 — Equity Check (Mandatory)
This section must be completed before submitting to WP4. Leaving it blank undermines the project’s foundational argument about equitable adaptation.
2.1 Vulnerable group coverage

Low-income households
Chronic health conditions
Ethnic minority communities
Limited mobility residents
Socially isolated residents
2.2 Procedural equity
Q1 — Access barriers
Are there stakeholders who should be engaged but currently lack the capacity or access to participate? What barriers exist and what mitigation is planned?
Q2 — Modality accessibility
Are any planned engagement modalities inaccessible to certain groups (language, digital access, timing, location)? How will this be addressed?
Q3 — Power imbalances
Does the current stakeholder set risk reproducing existing power imbalances in the case study city? What corrective steps are proposed?
Part 3 — Submission and Consolidation
Submit your completed canvas to the WP4 lead (TU Delft) by the deadlines below. WP4 consolidates all canvases into the comprehensive stakeholder map due Q4 2027.

Reflections on equitable engagement

After completing the stakeholder map, take a moment to reflect on the challenges and opportunities you face in implementing just engagement in practice. Your responses are valuable for WP4’s cross-consortium analysis and will inform the shared engagement methodology.

R1 — Challenges in practice
What are the main challenges you anticipate in implementing equitable stakeholder engagement in your case study context? Consider institutional, cultural, and resource-related barriers.
R2 — Power and voice
Which voices or perspectives have been most difficult to include so far, and why? What specific strategies might help bring these groups meaningfully into the process?
R3 — What would help
What resources, tools, or institutional support would most improve the quality and inclusivity of your engagement work? Are there things the consortium could provide or do differently?
R4 — Lessons and transfer
What lessons from your engagement experience so far — successes and setbacks — would be most useful to share with other work packages or apply in future projects?
