Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urban flood disasters caused by heavy rain or storm surges have resulted in severe losses of life and property worldwide, posing serious threats to social–economic development. Due to fast urbanization and global climate change, the magnitude, frequency, and intensity of urban flooding susceptibility is expected to continuously increase, and therefore, urban areas must increase their resilience and capacity to deal with urban floods. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are an effective way to mitigate urban flooding by using natural and artificial ecosystem services to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, including ecosystem-based approaches such as ecosystem-based adaptation, ecosystem-based disaster risk mitigation, natural infrastructure, green infrastructure, and nature-based climate change solutions. Therefore, contributions to this Special Issue are expected to include the use of NBS to mitigate urban flooding and the evaluation of their performance.
