Considering the system as a whole

Netherlands 2120 Wageningen University & Research (WUR) in the Netherlands has drawn up a national climate adaptation scenario for 2120. The starting point is the basic natural system, the landscape. The geology and subsoil will remain broadly stable for the next 100 years, and the planning of cities, agriculture, roads, and water management is being adapted to it. The plan is solution-orientated, offers subject-matter for reflection, and opens eyes in an inspiring way. Climate is changing from an annoying problem into a building block for sustainable, attractive and healthy development over the next 100 years. Steps can be taken now and it will be finished in 100 years.
