In the face of climate change and rising sea levels, many cities and countries are under threat. This is the case, for example, of the largest city in the USA, New York, which is repeatedly battered by hurricanes and floods. To cope with these natural hazards, the city is building a gigantic anti-submergence wall just across the East River, on Manhattan Island.

This is also the case in Venice, which is regularly flooded due to the phenomenon of high tides known as Acqua Alta, which is increasing with climate change... To protect itself, since 2003 the city of Venice has been implementing a protection system in the form of mobile dykes known as the Mose project.

Even more catastrophic, Japan has experienced devastating tsunamis such as the one in 2011. Since the disaster, the archipelago has built tsunami walls that are even bigger and more resistant than the previous ones, between 15 and 20 meters high in places. The city of Tokyo has also built a gigantic system of underground reservoirs and tunnels, known as G-Cans, to absorb its floods.

Finally, we turn to the Netherlands, where the problem of rising water levels has been with us for a long time. With its Delta project, the world's largest defense against rising waters, the country shows that it is possible to protect oneself effectively against this risk.
