Description
Auditorium
Nature-based solutions (NbS) – whether standalone or in complement of grey engineering measures – can reduce infrastructure asset losses and extend their operational life. NbS offer flexibility and adaptability to climate change over time through the natural adaptive capacity of ecosystems, and provide a range of environmental, social, and economic co-benefits.
This session will examine country experiences in using NbS for building climate-resilient infrastructure, and the enabling environment to encourage the use of NbS in infrastructure planning, design and maintenance.
