Advancing disaster risk reduction through the integration of science, design, and policy into eco-engineering and several global resource management processes

摘要: Abstract By the later part of 21st Century, our planet will be faced with compelling climatic circumstances requiring tradeoffs to maintain viable environmental conditions and standards living. The prognosis for people near coastlines waterways is particularly dire without decisive actions that capitalize on shared strengths such as ecosystems. One clear opportunity regenerative services co-benefits natural infrastructure reduce impacts disasters magnified by change. Certainly, nature-based solutions are increasingly being viewed critical societal risk. However, advance use through eco-engineering, there a need clarify science regarding risk reduction effectiveness, develop agreeable principles, standards, designs, grow demonstration site network responsive communities around globe. In addition, consider legal, policy, regulatory obstacles opportunities within local national contexts (i.e., science-based building codes, architectural design criteria, incentive policies, etc.). Ultimately, integration science, policy coupled installation several global resource management processes (IWRM, ICZM, etc.) help establish eco-engineering standards. Supportive coastal, river, urban examples from world used illustrate current state knowledge, model this design, serve initial “benchmark site”, finally define guiding principles emerging field eco-engineering.
