With over 150,000 kilometers of rivers, Poland is vulnerable to flooding, like those that hit the country in September 2024 and the summer of 1997. Learn how Poland, with the support of the World Bank, built the Racibórz Dolny dry polder, which helped protect over 2.5 million people across the country's south. Projects like these floodgates and reservoir demonstrate the value of investing in resilience to protect lives, homes, and businesses against disaster.
