Abstract

Although climate change is expected to continue, its negative impacts for the Netherlands appear manageable. Here, most climatic changes will take place more gradual than in many other regions, thus enabling citizens, companies and authorities to adapt. Furthermore, current policies focus attention on important aspects of climate change, such as the risk of flooding, drought and precipitation extremes.
