Forests and carbon capture

[hazard]

Something like 1/3rd of the Netherlands is below sea level and habitable only due to extensive water handling infrastructure. If sea levels rise high enough we can't afford to raise the dykes higher this means that 50% of the population and something like 2/3rd (I think) of the economy gets permanently flooded.

This is a very real risk even with some of the less catastrophic estimates of sea level rise.
