Paper: Investigating the public perception of green, hybrid and grey flood risk management measures in Europe
Title: Investigating the public perception of green, hybrid and grey flood risk management measures in Europe Abstract: Climate change is expected to affect the frequency and magnitude of floods, which are among the costliest hazards in Europe. As natural hazards have a significant impact on infrastructure and people’s lives and their habitats, novel measures to […]
Paper: On the right track of flood planning policy? Land uptake in Central-European floodplains (1990–2018)
Title: On the right track of flood planning policy? Land uptake in Central-European floodplains (1990–2018) Abstract: Floods continue to remain among the costliest disasters worldwide and especially in Europe. Among the major causes of flooding are human impacts on water retention in catchments and extensive alterations to floodplains. While several policies and instruments have been […]
Paper: Natural/Small Water Retention Measures: Their Contribution to Ecosystem-Based Concepts
Title: Natural/Small Water Retention Measures: Their Contribution to Ecosystem-Based Concepts Abstract: The increasing incidence of droughts and heavy rainfall events is exacerbating conflicts between human and environmental demands for water. However, through providing multiple water-related ecosystem services and benefits simultaneously, Natural/Small Water Retention Measures (NSWRM) can mitigate such competing claims. Thus, they also contribute to […]
Paper: Multidimensional resilience – flood recovery on private land
Title: Multidimensional resilience – flood recovery on private land Abstract: Flood damages are increasing and thus flood resilience is gaining importance. Various definitions of resilience and the identification of different resilience dimensions have been the focus of past research, but there is a lack of understanding how these dimensions systemically interrelate. Using an exploratory research design, […]
LAND4CLIMATE Horizon Europe project
In 2023-2027 several LAND4FLOOD partners will participate in Horizon Europe called LAND4CLIMATE which aims to deploy and demonstrate the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS) on private land. For more information see the project webpage: https://land4climate.eu/.
