Land impacted by inundation due to sea level rise is projected to fluctuate over the years in the Netherlands under various Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP).
Under the SSP1-2.6 low emission scenario, the mean projected area affected by sea level rise in the Netherlands is just over 6892 square kilometers in the next decade relative to the historic baseline. This figure decreases at the end of the century with an area of, 4729 square kilometers affected. This represents a decrease of more than 31 percent in land impacted by inundation during these time frames.

Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP): SSP1-1.9: very low GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions cut to net zero around 2050. SSP1-2.6: low GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions cut to net zero around 2075. SSP2-4.5: intermediate GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions around current levels until 2050, then falling but not reaching net zero by 2100: SSP3-7.0: high GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions double by 2100. SSP5-8.5: very high GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions triple by 2075.
