5. Summary
Policy: safety standards are regulated in Waterlaw (no change in propabilities yet)
Exposure is depending on location. Climate Change is expected to have more effect downstreams, western parts of Holland.
Higher dikes lead to same or equal propability but higher effects on exposure. Room for the Rivier–project.
No reliable landcovering maps for climate change yet.
