Climate change has been affecting countries in the 2 Seas Region (Belgium, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and France) more severely than expected. Extreme weather conditions that threaten the integrity of levees along the coast and the rivers are becoming more frequent and intense. Are flood defences safe enough, and how effective will emergency response be in case of a levee failure? How can the combination of flood defences and emergency response remain effective in light of the emerging circumstances? These questions are relevant to local stakeholders whose prosperity and wellbeing depend upon flood resilience. | |||
[[Bestand:Polder2C.jpg|miniatuur|499x499px|Participants of the Polder2C's project on a dike inspection within the research area.|gecentreerd]]Polder2C’s offers a rare opportunity to test and improve flood resilience by improving climate change adaptation capacity on a strategic, tactical and operational level. Thirteen partners from the 2 Seas Region and more than thirty ‘observer’ organisations have come together to design, execute and evaluate a series of experiments on levee performance and emergency response in the Hedwige-Prosperpolder. This is a unique site of 6 km<sup>2</sup> that is currently being depoldered, allowing the development of a new tidal area. As a new levee is being built, the old levee and the land behind it will be used as a living lab for in-situ tests and large scale exercises. | |||
Polder2C’s places a great importance in transfer of knowledge to students and young professionals. The Living lab Hedwige-Prosper will accommodate events focused on education and will welcome students to participate in field activities. A levee winterschool, levee challenge and excursions are some examples of possibilities for the next generation to become actively involved in Polder2C’s. | |||

|Summary= | |Summary=Polder2C heeft tot doel de kennis over overstromingsbestendigheid en aanpassing aan de klimaatverandering van de huidige en toekomstige generaties te verbeteren. Dit wordt bereikt door een reeks experimenten met betrekking tot de stabiliteit van dijken en de effectiviteit van noodmaatregelen tegen overstromingen in de Hedwige-Prosper polder, een unieke landgrensoverschrijdende testlocatie van 6 km2 op de grens van België en Nederland. De in het veld verworven inzichten zullen worden verwerkt in internationale richtlijnen voor praktijkmensen en in onderwijscurricula. Het project biedt mogelijkheden voor studenten om betrokken te worden bij veldactiviteiten. | ||

|Contact person=Gebruiker: | |SummaryEn=Polder2C’s aims at improving knowledge on flood resilience and climate change adaptation of the current and future generations. This is achieved through a series of experiments on levee stability and effectiveness of flood emergency countermeasures in the Hedwige-Prosper polder, a unique cross-country test site of 6 Km2 on the boarder of Belgium and the Netherlands. Insights acquired in the field will be incorporated in international guidelines for practitioners and in educational curricula. The project offers opportunities for students to be involved in field activities. | ||
