Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Your answer is correct. The Netherlands is indeed vulnerable to changes in climate because it is a low-lying country. Approximately a third of the country lies below sea level, and a significant portion is protected by a system of dikes, dams, and other flood defense infrastructure. Rising sea levels caused by climate change pose a significant risk to the country, as they may lead to increased flooding and potentially severe damage to infrastructure, agriculture, and communities. The Netherlands has historically invested heavily in water management and flood protection measures, but climate change presents ongoing challenges that require continued adaptation and innovation.
