Increasing climate and flood resilience in communities is essential as extreme weather and heavy rainfall become more frequent. Nature-based solutions play a critical role in this approach. Restoring wetlands, reconnecting floodplains, and planting riparian woodlands reduce downstream flood risk while enhancing biodiversity and carbon storage. Working with natural processes delivers sustainable, cost-effective solutions that protect homes, improve water quality, and strengthen resilience to climate change. By adopting a catchment-based approach, these interventions provide multiple benefits across entire river systems, supporting both people and nature for the long term.
