Report: Sea level in the Netherlands by the end of the century or rise by 2 meters

author:Bright Net

The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute released a report on the 25th that due to the impact of climate change, the sea level rise rate of the Dutch coast may be much faster than previously predicted, and may even rise by 2 meters by the end of this century. If greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced, sea levels off the Coast of the Netherlands could rise by 1.2 meters by the end of this century compared to the beginning of this century, and even as much as 2 meters if the melting of the Antarctic ice sheet accelerates, the report said.

By comparison, the agency's 2014 projections show that sea level rise on the Dutch coast will be capped at 1 meter by the end of the century. According to public information, the name of the Netherlands is "Netherlands". "Ned" means low, and "lan" is land, which together are called "low-lying countries". One-third of the Netherlands is only 1 metre above the surface of the North Sea, and nearly a quarter is below sea level. (Xinhua News Agency, Zeta)
