RESEARCH REPORT ON EXAMINATION AND IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN THE FIELD OF FLOOD CONTROL IN THE NETHERLANDS (3^RD REPORT)

Abstract

This report focuses on Dutch advanced efforts are under progress, including concrete climate change adaptation measures such as improvement of flood protection system. In order to grasp the detail from background to latest trends, we conducted an interview for flood control engineers and researchers and exchange of opinions with them as well as a document survey.

As a result, we got several new findings that give important implications when we consider climate change forecasts and adaptation measures in Japan such as, tolerable individual risk 10-5, consideration of societal risk, how to determine flood protection standards, multi-layer flood risk management in Dordrecht, latest review and research on crisis management, and so on.
