Description:

Combined impacts from anthropogenic pressures and climate change threaten the capacity of coastal ecosystems to protect communities from hazards. One approach towards improving coastal protection is to implement “nature-based solutions” (NBS), which are actions working with nature to benefit nature and humans. Despite recent increases in global implementation of NBS projects for coastal protection, substantial gaps exist in our understanding of NBS performance. To help fill this gap, we used a synthesis method called “systematic mapping” to catalog the global evidence base on the ecological, physical, economic, and social performance of NBS interventions related to coastal protection.
