Nature-Based Solutions for Smart Climate Adaptation
Nature based solutions pose multiple benefits to cities, considering flood resilience from stormwater runoff, micro-climate cooling as well as providing beautiful urban green environments for its citizens. Flood resilience and climate cooling are major beneficial components to the health and resilience of a city and reducing the systemic stresses from climate impacts is top of the agenda for many urban green decision makers.
In built-up urban areas, water management is increasingly important where pavement and bricks are sealing soils, and preventing saturation of water. This is where green infrastructure comes into play to ensure flood resiliency and improve the viability of urban ecology.
