My climate resilient Dutch delta quest

13:30 - 14:30 Vraagstuk van de NEderlandse Delta 

Language: Dutch (English on request)
Location: Carre 3G

The climate resilience of our Dutch delta is more than a challenge, with 80% of our pension funds invested in the west of our country, it has become a necessity for now and for hundreds of years to come. After my PhD (2014) on citizen-climate responsibility, I learned in the EU H2020 Marie Curie 'SOS Climate Waterfront' program how all deltas in the EU are struggling with their resilience, and are mainly waiting for the central government to know what to do. But we can take action ourselves, and I would like to tell you how in this program, through publications and articles and now the think tank of the Sea and River Foundation about a second sea defence, I am contributing to putting the resilience of our delta on our agenda broadly to get.
