In 2008, the World Bank suggested that the Netherlands could soon be under the sea. The government and people of the Netherlands took the advice to heart and are taking serious actions.
Cor Dijkgraaf, a Dutch city planner, has taken the same advice to Thailand. In a recent seminar, Cor compared the two countries.
“[Global warming] will affect the national economy, the whole country and the whole population if sea level rises. So it should be a national issue here in Thailand as well,” Dijkgraaf said.
A rise in the sea level of 40 cm, more violent storms and salt water intrusion are among the biggest concerns.
