Heavy rainfall in the Monsoon seasons in 2018 and 2019 led to major floods in the south Indian state of Kerala. The 2018 floods were the worst floods since 1924. It was reported that more than 483 people died, at least a million people were evacuated from their homes, and damage accounted over US$5.8 billion. According to the Kerala government, one-sixth of the total population of Kerala had been directly affected by the floods and related incidents.
This context motivated the development of a remake of the VPA Kerala’s Coast, which has been produced in 2003 – 2004 by an inter-disciplinary team from Cochin University of Science and Technology and Aurora studio in India, in cooperation with staff from Delft University of Technology, Wageningen University and Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands.
The goal for developing the VPA Kerala’s Coast 2.0 is to contribute to problem analysis, policy design and social dialogue in a context of participatory governance.
The visual documentation and comparison of the perspectives on climate induced risks, climate change and adaptation in Kerala now and 15 years ago also relates to the Dutch themes of Delta management. VPA Kerala’s Coast 2.0 will serve as a contemporary tool for educational and training purposes, and moreover allows a longitudinal research perspective on climate change, climate adaptation, community resilience and an adaptive governance.
