Sea level rise and climate change are a major threat for low-lying delta areas. This contribution will focus on the effects of various sea-level rise scenarios for the Dutch flood protection and water management system, and the options for adaptation. The role of infrastructural and nature-based solutions will be discussed as well as their scalability and limits in the context of future conditions. Moreover, the costs and feasibility of future adaptation will be highlighted. The final part of the presentation will focus on the possibilities and limitations of flood risk reduction for US and international deltas.
Speaker: Bas Jonkman (Professor of Hydraulic Engineering, Delft University)
Panelists: Jane McKee Smith (Senior Research Scientist, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center), Louis Armstrong (President and CEO, Kleinfelder) and Okey Nwogu (President, Consultant, Omega Hydrodynamics Research; retired UM Naval Architecture Dept)
