New discussion paper shows how nature can reduce disaster impact

The Nature Positive Disaster Risk Reduction Solutions (NPDRRS) discussion paper showcases how we can use nature to mitigate risk of natural disasters. The paper showcases opportunities for increasing investment in nature-based infrastructure such as wetlands, forests, coastal environments and urban green spaces, as well as practices such as cultural burning, to mitigate the risks of floods, bushfires, sea level rise and other natural hazards.
