You've probably heard that the Earth's climate is changing and that we're talking about "climate change". But what exactly is it? What are the causes of climate change? And how can a lake protect us from flooding?

The land on the North Sea coast is very flat. In some places, it is even lower than sea level. The sea level is rising due to climate change. And not only that - it will also rain more and more in winter. All the rainwater could collect in the land like in a bathtub. For the people on the coast, this means that they will have to adapt. Using the East Frisian coast as an example, we want to find out together what we can do to keep our feet dry.
