Balancing concrete infrastructures and Nature- based Solutions to improve resilience: when green & grey make blue!
Climate change primarily affects water with unpredictable rainfall patterns, aquatic ecosystems degradation, altered river flows, sea level rise-induced salinization of coastal groundwater, more frequent and intense floods and droughts. Water-related disasters represent about 90% of all natural disasters.
To address these challenges, our societies need to make the most of existing solutions, including by combining classic concrete infrastructures and nature-based solutions.
