abstract: In the face of climate, uncertainty and social complexity, decision-makers face difficult tasks in ensuring the long-term Dutch water safety. This research analyzes the Dutch Delta Program, a comprehensive policy program that prepares the country for the expected effects of climate change. In dealing with the uncertainties of climate change, the Dutch have developed the Adaptive Delta management approach, which helps decision-making through a flexible manner and combining the short- and long term measures. The focus of this research lies on the river Rhine subprogram, that must deal with the expected rise in river discharges because of climate change. Specific attention is paid towards the decision-making on a regional and local level and how this program increases adaptability.
