A component of Identification of Natural Infrastructure Options for Adapting to Sea Level Rise
This report presents five case studies of the use of natural infrastructure to mitigate the risk of floods, storms and sea level rise in coast
A new report quantitatively values the benefits provided by mangroves across the Philippines and finds that they reduce the damage from flooding to people and property by 25 percent annually.
This report - reviews the existing and potential funding avenues for natural infrastructure, examines the barriers that prevent the broader use of these natural solutions, and proposes a framework to identify when and where natural infrastruc
In this report, The Nature Conservancy - in coordination with C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group - explores how nature can play a role in helping to solve the twin challenges of air pollution and excess heat.
Heatwaves are one of the world's most underestimated threats, killing more than 12,000 people every year around the world - more than any other weather-related event. On top of that, cities tend to have higher levels of air pollution, which contribute to more than 3 million deaths every year. One relatively simple solution to this problem? Plant more trees in cities.
This study illustrates the direct and indirect flood risk reduction benefits that coastal wetlands provide by reducing flood heights and also by decreasing exposure.
As communities recover from Hurricane Matthew, a new study finds more than $600 million in property losses were prevented during Hurricane Sandy by coastal habitats - and expect the effects of Matthew will demonstrate similar protections. By quantifying the economic value of natural defenses they can be more effectively included in risk models and coastal management.
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.
