“…Key to avoiding greenwashing is the co-creation of guidance, case studies and policy instruments with practitioners (Naylor et al 2012) Similar inventories of case studies and guidance exist for Singapore (Lai et al, 2022) and Malaysia (Chee et al, 2021b). In 2023, the French ministry will publish a guideline to favour GGI and eco-engineering practices in future French ports (DGITM, 2022).…”

Coastal greening of grey infrastructure: an update on the state-of-the-art

In the marine environment, greening of grey infrastructure (GGI) is a rapidly growing field that attempts to encourage native marine life to colonize marine artificial structures to enhance biodiversity, thereby promoting ecosystem functioning and hence service provision. By designing multifunctional sea defences, breakwaters, port complexes and off-shore renewable energy installations, these structures can yield myriad environmental benefits, in particular, addressing UN SDG 14: Life below water. Whilst GGI has shown great promise and there is a growing evidence base, there remain many criticisms and knowledge gaps, and some feel that there is scope for GGI to be abused by developers to facilitate harmful development. Given the surge of research in this field in recent years, it is timely to review the literature to provide an update update on the state-of-the-art of the field in relation to the many criticisms and identify remaining knowledge gaps. Despite the rapid and significant advances made in this field, there is currently a lack of science and practice outside of academic sectors in the developed world, and there is a collective need for schemes that encourage intersectoral and transsectoral research, knowledge exchange, and capacity building to optimize GGI in the pursuit of contributing to sustainable development.

“…The integration of green and grey infrastructure is essential to enhancing coastal resilience [8,12,24,25,64,65]. Contemporary research on coastal infrastructure is increasingly hybrid-infrastructure-centric, e.g., living shorelines [37,38], BwN [32], EwN [8,37], and NbS [12,24,33,66,67]. Notably, NbS has taken centre stage during the past decade in both research and policymaking (2012-2022), [35].…”

Systematic literature reviews provide the foundation for evidence-based research in a particular field of study. In this regard, the systematic review of the relationship between coastal management strategies and coastal infrastructure typologies provides an opportunity to benchmark local coastal adaptation policies against contemporary global practices, technologies, and sustainability. However, systematic reviews of coastal infrastructure in Ghana and West Africa at large are limited. To close this research gap, we conducted a systematic literature review of the global implementation of coastal management strategies and coastal infrastructure and provided a synopsis of coastal management in Ghana. To achieve this, we searched the Scopus Database for literature on coastal management approaches and infrastructure typologies. Forty-eight peer-reviewed publications met the inclusion criteria for full-text analysis. The results indicate a significant global shift from purely grey infrastructure toward integrating green and grey infrastructure. However, despite contemporary global advances, coastal infrastructure in developing contexts—particularly in Ghana—remains mostly static, using reactive, hold the line strategies, and grey infrastructure. As sea-level rise continues to intensify coastal hazards globally, increasing the demand for coastal protection, researching coastal management policies and coastal infrastructure is essential to support the hybridization of grey and green infrastructure and encourage transitions to adaptive coastal management instead of continuous coastal hardening using grey infrastructure.

Stakeholder Management in Public Sector Infrastructure Projects

The underlying risks and complexities in government infrastructure projects have increased the importance of external stakeholder management in contemporary project management. In developing countries, it is also important for policymaking and planning of infrastructure programs due to the varying nature of stakeholders and their expectations from the government. Few studies have looked at how external stakeholders are involved in public infrastructure projects and how they work together to achieve common project goals by overcoming communication and decision-making barriers. The internal stakeholders and project managers also need to properly liaise with the external stakeholders without compromising the project goals. Thus, there is a need to strategize the stakeholder management process to improve public sector infrastructure projects, especially from a developing nation's perspective. Therefore, the scope of this research has evaluated the prevalence of external stakeholder management in public sector infrastructure construction projects in Pakistan by developing and validating its five core dimensions. Among the constructs were identification and classification, communication, engagement, empowerment, and risk control. Besides this, twenty-seven sub-variables of stakeholder management have also been identified in the context of public sector projects. The results of the factor loading show that "Risk Control" is the most contributing dimension of stakeholder management, and "Empowerment" is the least concern in the current practices. The study emphasizes the importance of establishing a systematic and comprehensive framework for empowering external stakeholders, which will strengthen and improve performance and project outcomes. This study reveals insights that will assist project organizations in integrating external stakeholders into their government-sponsored projects with their effective empowerment and sufficient engagement.
