Abstract:
The application of natural and nature-based features NNBF has grown steadily over the past 20 years, supported by calls for innovation in flood risk management FRM and nature-based solutions from many different perspectives and organizations. Technical advancements in support of NNBF are increasingly the subject of peer-reviewed and other technical literature. A variety of guidance has been published by numerous organizations to inform program-level action and technical practice for specific types of nature-based solutions. This effort to develop international guidelines on the use of NNBF was motivated by the need for a comprehensive guide that draws directly on the growing body of knowledge and experience from around the world to inform the process of conceptualizing, planning, designing, engineering, constructing, and operating NNBF.
