This book begins by helping farmers understand the magnitude of the challenge. Rather than presenting abstract climate theory, it ...

Nature-based solutions are no longer an environmental add-on to infrastructure planning. They are infrastructure. Mangroves attenuate storm surge. Wetlands reduce flood peaks. Urban forests cut cooling demand. Watershed forests protect water treatment systems. Soil bioengineering stabilises transport embankments. This book builds the analytical and practical case for deploying ecosystem services as structural components of critical infrastructure strategy across every major sector. Drawing on peer-reviewed evidence from hydrology, coastal engineering, urban systems, transport ecology, and ...
