Article Synopsis
- * A meta-analysis of 7163 records from 89 global studies reveals that combining NbS with traditional infrastructure is the most effective way to address multiple climate-related challenges, particularly flooding and runoff.
- * Incorporating NbS significantly lowers the impacts of climate hazards, achieving a reduction of 18.6% compared to the 8.1% reduction from traditional strategies alone, highlighting NbS's essential role in developing resilient and sustainable cities in future climate scenarios.
Background: Freshwaters are the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Although recent assessments provide data on global priority regions for freshwater conservation, local scale priorities remain unknown. Refining the scale of global biodiversity assessments (both at terrestrial and freshwater realms) and translating these into conservation priorities on the ground remains a major challenge to biodiversity science, and depends directly on species occurrence data of high taxonomic and geographic resolution.
