. In the Netherlands land subsidence is a continuously ongoingprocess. Consequently, an increasing number of people and economic assetsare exposed to subsidence, damage costs are soaring, and flood risk andgreenhouse gas emissions are increasing. In some areas tipping points havealready been reached, where current land-use can no longer be maintainedwithout considerable costs, underlining the urgency to take action. Together with a consortium consisting of universities, research institutes,governmental agencies, public and private partners we have developed anational, multidisciplinary research programme aiming to develop anintegrative approach to achieve feasible, legitimate and sustainablesolutions for managing the negative societal effects of land subsidence,connecting fundamental research on subsidence processes to socio-economicimpact of subsidence and to governance and legal framework design. The program is designed to co-create insights that help to effectivelymitigate and adapt to subsidence within the Netherlands by making majorimprovements in measuring and modeling the processes and consequences ofsubsidence, identifying, developing and critically evaluating controlmeasures and designing governance and legal approaches that facilitate theirimplementation. Hereto we will develop (a) new satellite-based technology tomeasure, attribute and monitor subsidence, (b) solid understanding of theinteracting multiple processes contributing to total subsidence, (c) sophisticated physical and economic numerical models to predicthuman-induced subsidence rates and impacts, and (d) implementation strategiesthat go beyond technical measures, to strengthen governance and financingcapacities as well as legal frameworks. This fully integrated approach dealswith all impacts of land subsidence on society and the economy.
