Project Poldergeist is a collaborative research and video experiment with the practical goal of strategically injecting research insights into climate adaptation policy discussions in the Netherlands, specifically, and wherever coastal cities are threatened by sea level rise and other climate change impacts, generally. Ep. 3, "How will the Netherlands defend itself against climate change?" of the Project Poldergeist series evaluates the climate adaptation pathways in terms of their impact on biodiversity, soil degradation, subsidence, water quality, and other measures of misguided land use police. In collaboration with Professor Simon Richter, Professor Joshua Mosley, Cecily Nishimua, and Julia Gerbin, we consulted Dutch, American, and other experts from the water and climate adaption sectors to brainstorm the storyboard, produce the animatic with the recorded script, and revise form and content.
