Over the longer record, from 1901 to 2018, the rise was about 20 centimetres, faster than in any century of the past three thousand years, according to the IPCC.

The IPCC’s likely ranges for 2100, relative to 1995 to 2014, run from 0.28 to 0.55 metres in the lowest-emissions pathway to 0.63 to 1.01 metres in the highest. Rises close to two metres by 2100 cannot be ruled out if ice sheets become unstable.

The Netherlands answered with the Delta Works, a chain of dams, sluices and storm-surge barriers that turned about 700 kilometres of ragged coastline into a much shorter, straighter line of about 80. The last great piece, the Maeslant Barrier near Rotterdam, was finished in 1997. Its two gates, each 210 metres wide and 22 metres high, close automatically whenever the water is forecast to rise more than three metres above normal sea level near Rotterdam; they fill with water and sink to the bottom within two hours. It closed for the first time in 2007 (Rijkswaterstaat; Rijkswaterstaat).

The Room for the River programme widened the space for high water, for example by digging new flood channels, at 34 locations along the IJssel, Waal, Lower Rhine and Lek between 2006 and 2019, for €2.3 billion, improving safety for around 4 million people (Rijkswaterstaat).
