A new report brings together 23 nature-based solutions for mitigating climate risks and enhancing biodiversity. These solutions offer ideas for managing, for example, urban flooding, heatwave risks and soil risks.
Urban forests, flood-prone open spaces and nature-based play areas
The compiled measures serve as a catalogue of ideas for presenting nature-based solutions. The publication brings together 23 nature-based solutions designed to minimise climate risks related to temperature, water and soil, as well as to enhance biodiversity. The document includes measures on both a large and small scale, ranging from urban forests to permeable pavements and green roofs.
The impact of each measure on mitigating climate risks and enhancing biodiversity has been assessed on a scale of one to three. In addition, indicative implementation and maintenance costs have been estimated for the measures.
Proposals for climate-risk-specific indicators
In addition to the measures, the document sets out proposals for climate-risk-specific indicators. The indicators have been developed to correspond to climate risks examined in the IKI project relating to temperature, water and soil. The list of indicators brings together impact indicators and performance indicators for each climate risk.
The document supports adaptation to climate change in line with the EU taxonomy.
The publication forms part of the Climate-Resilient Investment Projects (IKI) – Preparing for Regional Climate Risks in Urban Planning and Development project. The project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
