Summary
[edit]DescriptionNorthern Netherlands.jpg |
English: With a third of its land below sea level, the Netherlands is one of the most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change. Rising sea levels, torrential rain and soil subsidence put 60% of the Netherlands at risk of flooding, including major cities. In order to reduce these risks, every year the Dutch government spends €1.3 billion on a climate change adaptation plan. This image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 22 September 2020 and processed by Pierre Markuse, shows the Northern Netherlands, including the Drenthe Friesland and Groningen Regions and the West Frisian Islands, some of the most vulnerable areas in the country. Sensors onboard the Copernicus Sentinel satellites supply crucial data for studying and monitoring the impact of climate change on fragile and essential ecosystems such as the forests and peatlands around the globe. |
