Summary

In recent decades it has become increasingly clear that the global climate is warming and that regional climates are changing. The changes include alterations in rainfall patterns and intensities, sea level, and frequency of extreme weather events. Climate changes will not just have global effects, they will also occur regionally. The consequences will be felt and dealt with in the authors' region. In addition to studies on the European level, a study entitled "An integrated assessment of vulnerability to climate change and adaptation options in the Netherlands" was commissioned in the Netherlands by the Ministry of Physical Planning, Health and Environment (VROM) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fisheries (LNV).
