NESP MaC Project 1.10 - A national inventory of implemented nature-based solutions to mitigate coastal hazards

本记录概述了国家环境保护计划海洋和沿海中心小规模研究--“为减轻沿海灾害而实施的基于自然的解决办法的国家清单”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> 气候变化和人口持续增长加速了对海岸保护的多样化解决方案的需要。传统上，海岸线是用传统的“硬”或“灰”工程结构武装起来的，这些结构是非适应性的，并伴随着巨大的经济、环境和社会成本。虽然坚硬的结构将继续在海岸保护中占有一席之地，但在未来适当的时候，应该更广泛地采用更可持续和更具气候适应性的替代方法。基于自然的方法(通过“软”或“混合”技术)有可能在气候适应和缓解方面发挥重要作用，因为它们有能力减少海岸侵蚀和洪水的威胁，并提供碳封存等共同惠益。基于自然的方法在澳大利亚未得到充分利用的一个原因是，决策者需要更明确的指导方针，以确定何时软性、混合性或硬性海岸防御方法最合适。这导致了最近出版的基础指南(由Morris和Sweeller牵头，在ESCC中心项目5.9：保护海岸和固碳的自然栖息地下交付)，以告知各国使用基于自然的方法来减少沿海灾害风险。在编制这些准则的过程中，最终用户认为，由于缺乏已经采用基于自然的方法的海岸保护项目的国家清单，这将使其能够在澳大利亚作为一项适应战略得到更广泛的采纳。<br/> <br/> 该项目为沿海土地管理者实施了基于自然的解决办法以减轻沿海灾害的所有当前和计划的实地行动编制了一份在线清单。由此产生的清单是确定最佳做法的第一步，这将为今后制定在澳大利亚实施不同的基于自然的方法的详细技术设计指南提供信息。<br/> <br/> 计划产量<br/> ·减轻沿海灾害的现有已实施自然解决方案的国家清单[空间数据集]<br/> ·带有分析数据的最终技术报告，包括对主要调查结果向决策者提出的建议的简短摘要[书面]

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale study - "A national inventory of implemented nature-based solutions to mitigate coastal hazards". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Climate change and continued population growth are accelerating the need for diverse solutions to coastal protection. Traditionally shorelines are armoured with conventional “hard” or “grey” engineering structures, which are non-adaptive and come with significant economic, environmental and social costs. While hard structures will continue to have a place in coastal protection, alternative methods that are more sustainable and climate-resilient should be more broadly adopted into the future where appropriate. Nature-based methods (through “soft” or “hybrid” techniques) have the potential to play important roles in climate adaptation and mitigation because of their ability to reduce the threats of coastal erosion and flooding and provide co-benefits such as carbon sequestration. One reason that nature-based methods have been underutilised in Australia is that decision-makers need clearer guidelines for when a soft, hybrid or hard coastal defence approach is most appropriate. This resulted in the recently published foundational guide (led by Morris and Swearer and delivered under ESCC Hub Project 5.9: Natural habitats for coastal protection and carbon sequestration) to inform the national use of nature-based methods for coastal hazard risk reduction. In the process of producing these guidelines, the lack of a national inventory of coastal protection projects already using nature-based methods was identified by end-users as a priority to enable their wider adoption as an adaptation strategy in Australia.<br /> <br /> This project generates an online inventory of all current and planned on-ground actions by coastal land managers that have implemented a nature-based solution (NBS) to mitigate coastal hazards. The resulting inventory is the first step in identifying best practice, which will inform the future development of detailed technical design guidelines for implementing different nature-based methods in Australia.<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • A national inventory of existing implemented nature-based solutions to mitigate coastal hazards [spatial dataset]<br /> • Final technical report with analysed data, including a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]
