Summary
The content of this presentation is as follows:
- How to improve the climate-resilience of urban infrastructure?
- Examples of green infrastructure
- The Ecosystem Services Cascade
- Ecosystem services
- Green infrastructure benefits and drawbacks
- Sustainable development goals and resilience
- Issues with existing valuation methods and performance measurements
- Practical implementation
- ' If you want to learn more'
Learning objectives are:
- Distinguish between green infrastructure (GI) and other types of measures to improve resilience in urban areas.
- Give examples of grey, green, soft and hybrid measures, their benefits and drawbacks, and relation to natural hazards.
- Explain how GI can improve urban resilience in relation to ecosystem services and the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
- Explain difficulties and solutions in valuing GI benefits and measuring performance.
- Motivate which GI you would implement in an actual city and how you would measure its performance.
