Mangrove restoration and coastal flood adaptation: A global perspective on the potential for hybrid coastal defenses
Description
This global assessment demonstrates that mangrove restoration presents a cost-effective nature-based solution for mitigating coastal flood risk for hybrid coastal defenses, offering substantial benefits in terms of reduced expected annual damage to infrastructure and population exposed to flooding. Crucially, this study underscores how mangrove restoration predominantly benefits vulnerable low-income communities, indicating its potential to reduce flood risk for poor populations and enhance resilience, particularly in low- and middle-income countries facing heightened flood risks.
