Nature’s solution to flooding: a case study from Sri Lanka

This video is the second video of unit 2.1 of the course Nature-based Solutions for Disaster and Climate Resilience taught by Nathalie Doswald, Mikhail Fernandes, and Xinyue Gu.

What are ‘Nature-based solutions’, or NbS? How can they help build resilience to disasters and climate change impacts? Why is NbS relevant? How can I apply NbS in my work and everyday life?

In this online course, UNEP and environmental experts from around the world will provide you with answers to those questions, reaching out to you and me, to planners, policymakers, engineers, businesses, and youth. This is an opportunity for you to join a community of learners and environmental advocates.
