Part 9/15:
Learning from the Netherlands' experience, Southeast Asia faces similar threats. Coastal cities like Bangkok, along with parts of Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, are highly vulnerable to flooding and climate-induced sea-level rise. The Dutch suggest regional collaboration, knowledge exchange, and long-term planning, including innovative floating buildings and adaptive infrastructure, to mitigate rising tides.
Such resilience efforts highlight the importance of anticipation—building infrastructure that can withstand future scenarios, rather than reactive measures after disasters strike. As sea levels threaten densely populated coastal zones, global cooperation and strategic planning are imperative.
