Coastal Resilience Through Nature-Based Solutions: Strategies for Ecosystem Restoration and Climate Adaptation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781991369185)

Coastal ecosystems are indispensable to global biodiversity, climate adaptation, and community livelihoods, yet they face significant threats from climate change, rising sea levels, and human activity. Coastal Resilience Through Nature-Based Solutions: Strategies for Ecosystem Restoration and Climate Adaptation presents a comprehensive, research-driven exploration of sustainable approaches to restoring and protecting these critical environments.

This guide examines the application of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) across diverse ecosystems, including mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes. It provides in-depth insights into their ecological functions, climate mitigation potential, and role in building resilience against coastal hazards. The book offers actionable strategies for integrating NbS into urban and regional planning, scaling up global restoration efforts, and fostering cross-sectoral partnerships. It also highlights the importance of equity, community involvement, and innovative technologies in achieving long-term success.

Designed for policymakers, environmental professionals, researchers, and advocates, this book combines practical solutions with a forward-thinking vision, equipping readers to address the pressing challenges of coastal management and climate adaptation. It is an essential resource for driving sustainable and resilient practices in coastal restoration globally.
