As a Dutch person... what?

We just threw 2 billion euros at raising and strengthening the Afsluitdijk and installin some insanely huge pumps to make sure we can get rid of water from the IJsselmeer even in high-sealevel conditions. That's on top of the 1.2 billion were spending on the Delta Program every year to make sure we're beating climate change.

There are no sea-side wetlands to prevent flooding in the Netherlands (though were definitely doing that for our rivers. There are large sections of coast that have dunes, but that's not new, that's how they've always been. We DO do a lot of shoreline suppletion, which maintains the beaches and dunes, but that's not really a solution for many places.
