Yup
The science suggests 1m rise in a 100 years. When the dutch government looked at the issue they concluded that any sea level rises would be slow enough that the could deal with it during their normal dike maintenance cycle. The overheated claims of sea level immediately flooding large areas of coastline are basically nonsense. The rise will be slow and allow plenty of time for adaptation.

But the Dutch stopped panicking about sea level rise about 800 years ago and began to address it systematically.

Dikes and levies are a big part of the plan. But the Netherlands has also learned to pick its fights, and even let the water win sometimes.

Most important lesson from the Dutch experience: no need to depend on other countries adhering to an un-enforceable treaty that would inevitably deliver the most benefits to those that cheat and leave the work to others.
