Climate change has always been there, but why is this climate change so different now?

1. The next ice age has not yet come
2. The amount of Co2 has increased sharply at the hands of humans
3. The sun is much stronger at the moment
4. Current climate change is happening much faster than it should be

What is going to change for the Netherlands because of climate change?

1. Warmer summers, wetter winters
2. Colder winters, warmer summers
3. Wetter summers, drier winters
4. Warmer summers, drier winters

How can it be warmer in city than rural areas?

1. Too many heaters on
2. Too many people together emitting heat
3. Little to no vegetation
4. Too much asphalt and few trees

Why are longer dryer periods a problem in the Netherlands?

1. Rivers may then stop flowing
2. harvests can fail and nature suffers
3. we will have too little drinking water
4. the Wadden Sea could then run dry

What happened in Limburg in August 2021 by doing climate change?

1. The dyke broke through a storm
2. Harvest failed due to insufficient rainfall
3. It rained so much in Europe that the river flooded
4. On the hills there was a lot of rain and then pouring down

Can we as humans do something about climate change?

1. No, because climate change is due to the sun
2. Yes, a little by emitting less Co2, for example
3. There is no climate change

Mr White is

1. an idiot
2. weird
3. stupid
4. not funny

Why is it difficult to reduce Co2 emissions?

1. The atmosphere can hardly affect you
2. Co2 is also emitted by volcanoes
3. There are no alternative to cars
4. Growing world population and increasing prosperity

Dit is een ijslens onder de grond. Doordat de ijsmassa water aantrekt groeit de pingo.

Goals

At the end of the lesson, you can:

• Explain the difference between absolute and relative sea level rise
• describe various measures that protect the Dutch coast from the effects of climate change

Required prior knowledge 

You know that large parts of the Netherlands lies below sea level;
You know that the climate is changing;
You know the basic coastline of the Netherlands;

Door de opwarming van de aarde, smelt sneeuw en ijs. Daardoor stijgt de zeespiegel. 

Are you flooding?

Go to the website and check how high the water could get in your area

Below sea level

Lower Netherlands consists of polders 

In a polder, the water board has to pump out the water so it does not flood.

Climate adaptation

What can you do?

Making changes to reduce the impact of climate change.

Coastal protection

In the Netherlands dunes, dikes, dams and storm surge barriers protect the land against the water.

The water board ensures water safety, water purification and enough fresh water

storm surge barrier

Movable flood barrier built to protect a river or estuary.

Hard coast vs Soft coast
