This is how green the Netherlands could be in 100 years

  That looks like as well as what's presumably large sea based solar power plants it does seem that the Dutch are trying to reclaim land from the N Sea, with what seems to be a new island emerging.  That could be quite challenging with expected, let along possible/probable levels of sea level rises.  Would be interesting if they could achieve that.  Used to have ideas of the raising of the Dogger Bank region to make it habitable but that was rather speculative and without consideration of global warming.

PS  Read the link, which I initially missed , but a hell of a lot of other sections to the document that I'm just skimming through at the moment.  Many thanks.

  Its a big issue on the declining 'native' populations in a lot of the developed world.  Those countries who still have growing populations seem to depend largely on either immigrants and/or greater birth rates among existing recent migrant communities.  If this doesn't change and if the rate of migration was to decline, for whatever reason, then populations are likely to decline, possibly steeply.  I think Italy and Japan are facing the worst problems here.  On the other hand given that growth rates are still high in much of the 3rd world coupled with political instability, increased ease of transportation and the effects of climate change and other ecological problems the migration rates could well rises dramatically, provided the internal politics of the countries involved allows it.

  Ouch.  That's a hell of a cultural change.

  Along with a lot of others areas that could be hit far worse than them.  Including Britain and the Netherlands if they get things wrong.  The proposed plan is a reaction to the problems caused by climatic problems but that seeks to mitigate those problems.  An even better future might well be possible with no global warming.
