The adoption of Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) represents a novel means to mitigate natural hazards. In the framework of the OPERANDUM project, this study introduces a methodology to assess the efficiency of the NBSs and a series of Open-Air Laboratories (OALs) regarded as a proof-of-concept for the wider uptake of NBSs. The OALs are located in Finland, Greece, UK, Italy, and Ireland. The methodology is based on a wide modeling activity, incorporated in the context of future climate scenarios. Herein, we present a series of models’ chains able to estimate the efficiency of the NBSs. While the presented models are mainly well-established, their coupling represents a first fundamental step in the study of the long-term efficacy and impact of the NBSs. In the selected sites, NBSs are utilized to cope with distinct natural hazards: floods, droughts, landslides, salt intrusion, and nutrient and sediment loading. The study of the efficacy of NBSs to mitigate these hazards belongs to a series of works devoted to the implementation of NBSs for environmental purposes. Our findings prove that land management plays a crucial role in the process. Specifically, the selected NBSs include intensive forestry; the conversion of urban areas to grassland; dunes; marine seagrass; water retention ponds; live cribwalls; and high-density plantations of woody vegetation and deep-rooted herbaceous vegetation. The management of natural resources should eventually consider the effect of NBSs on urban and rural areas, as their employment is becoming widespread.

“…Potential projects may include increasing the elevation of structures vulnerable to fl ooding; property acquisition for conversion to open space; fl ood control projects; wind or extreme temperature retrofi ts; and, similar projects that advance the resilience of infrastructure of the built environment. This is an area of increasing innovation that many extend to a variety of different novel Funding and financing adaptation 65 programmatic options ( Stults 2017 ). Table A.3 provides some potential opportunities for local governments to integrate climate change considerations for their own local hazard mitigation planning (LHMP) into the state hazard mitigation plan (SHMP) consistent with existing FEMA hazard mitigation planning requirements.…”
