This CMP aims to help maintain and protect the coastal zone to reduce coastal risk, support healthy ecosystems, and enable sustainable coastal economic development. This Coastal Management Plan (CMP) is...
In preparation for the storm of November 2018, Senegal’s national weather service (L'Agence Nationale de l'Aviation Civile et de la Météorologie, ANACIM) announced ahead of time a forecast of dangerous...
Flooding and Erosion are two important hazards facing coastal communities: contributing factors are: development decisions, ecosystem degradation, sea level rise, changing weather patterns, and natural...
A large portion of the world’s population lives alongside coastlines and face increasingly high risk from natural hazards exacerbated by climate change. Conventional interventions to protect these highly...
Urban flooding occurs when water flows into an urban area faster than it can be absorbed or transported away. Lack of drainage and insufficient water infrastructure due to urbanization exacerbates flooding.
The advantages of nature-based solutions are: to provide wide range of additional co-benefits, beyond flood reduction, can be more cost-effective, can be designed as resilient, flexible, climate adaptation...
Cities worldwide are facing resilience challenges as climate risks interact with urbanization, loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, poverty, and rising socioeconomic inequality. Extreme precipitation...
This overview of the International Guidelines on Natural and Nature Based Features for Flood Risk Management (NNBF Guidelines) provides a high level review of each chapter of the guidance and outlines...
The social and economic activity of Seychelles relies heavily on its coastal zones. As a small island developing state (SIDS) with a highly mountainous topography, around 90 percent of its total population...
The objective of this document is to present five principles and implementation guidance for planning, such as evaluation, design, and implementation of nature-based solutions for flood risk management...
