Global climate change risk to fisheries – A multi-risk assessment
Quantifying the fragility of coral reefs to hurricane impacts
Ecosystems like coral reefs mitigate rising coastal flood risks, but investments into their conservation remain low relative to the investments into engineered risk-mitigation structures. One reason is that quantifying the risk-reduction benefits of coral reefs requires an estimate of their fragility to severe stresses. Engineered structures typically have associated fragility functions which predict the probability of exceeding a damage state wi…
Small Island Developing States under threat by rising seas even in a 1.5 °C warming world
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have long been recognized as some of the planet’s most vulnerable areas to climate change, notably to rising sea levels and coastal extremes. They have been crucial in raising ambitions to keep global warming below 1.5 °C and in advancing the difficult debate on loss and damage. Still, quantitative estimates of loss and damage for SIDS under different mitigation targets are lacking. Here we carry out an asses…
Storm risk and marine fisheries
Financial incentives for large-scale wetland restoration
Wetlands provide -$47.4 trillion/year worth of ecosystem services globally and support immense biodiversity, yet face widespread drainage and pollution, and large-scale wetlands restoration is urgently needed. Payment for ecosystem service (PES) schemes provide a viable avenue for funding large-scale wetland restoration. However, schemes around the globe differ substantially in their goals, structure, challenges, and effectiveness in supporting l…
Infrastructure investment must incorporate Nature’s lessons in a rapidly changing world
The value of US coral reefs for flood risk reduction
Financing coastal resilience by combining nature-based risk reduction with insurance
The Effectiveness, Costs and Coastal Protection Benefits of Natural and Nature-Based Defences
There is great interest in the restoration and conservation of coastal habitats for protection from flooding and erosion. This is evidenced by the growing number of analyses and reviews of the effectiveness of habitats as natural defences and increasing funding world-wide for nature-based defences-i.e. restoration projects aimed at coastal protection; yet, there is no synthetic information on what kinds of projects are effective and cost effectiv…
