[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The Netherlands is low-lying country, with a significant portion of its territory located below sea level. This makes the country particularly vulnerable to changes in climate, such as rising sea levels and increased frequency of extreme weather events like storms and heavy rainfall. Additionally, the country's extensive system of dykes and dams, which are crucial for maintaining water levels and protecting against flooding, may become less effective as sea levels rise and extreme weather events become more severe.
