Climate Change

Scientists consider the main cause of climate change and rising sea level is the continued increase in CO2 emissions. In an effort to reduce CO2 emissions, measures are being taken to cut energy consumption and to use more energy from renewable sources. 

As a low-lying country, the Netherlands is subject to the consequences of extremes in weather such as peak rainfall and river discharges, and rising sea level. Government policy is directed to making water management an integral part of spatial planning and strategic land areas are reserved for this purpose. The river dikes and coastal defences are constantly being strengthened and improved to prevent flooding. The Netherlands is committed to tackling climate issues on a global scale and participates in international negotiations and agreements.
