This report follows risk-based valuation approaches to map flood zones at 10-squaremeter resolution along all 3,100+ kilometers of U.S.
New research finds that Cape Town could cost-effectively tap two months of new water supplies a year by clearing non-native trees from water catchments. Within 30 years, more than 100 billion litres of additional annual water gains would be achieved compared to exclusively using conventional techniques,such as desalination, which are also ten times more expensive.
Coastal zones are critical to life and livelihoods, people and planet. They are conduits to trade, to communications, they provide resources and livelihoods, they are often centers of economic growth.
This study is the first statewide, comprehensive assessment of the vulnerability of California’s coastal habitats, imperiled species, and conservation lands to sea level rise, with the aim to inform current and future adaptation decisions and
This report uses rigorous hydrodynamic and economic models to value the coastal flood protection services of mangroves globally, and identifies the places where mangroves provide the greatest risk reduction benefits to people and property.
Coral reefs, which provide a first line of defense to flooding and climate change to countries around the world, are being rapidly lost. A new study shows that coral reefs cut the cost of all flood-related damages around the world in half, sending a powerful signal about reefs and their importance for reducing flood risk and damages.
Recommended data collection and evaluation of project performance to facilitate adaptive management and improve future project designs
This document presents a methodological framework for evaluating the performance of coastal wetland re
The Nature Conservancy and the State Government of Quintana Roo, Mexico have launched a “Coastal Zone Management Trust,” which will cover a portion of the Mesoamerican Reef along Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. The trust will promote conservation of coastal areas in the Mexican Caribbean and will finance what will become the first-ever parametric insurance policy for a coral reef.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Commitments (SFVC) online platform serves to incentivize stakeholders to inform the public about their work, to provide a vehicle for sharing commitments and initiatives and for motivation toward the implementation of the Sendai Framework. In turn, UNDRR can monitor and take stock of the progress and impact.
