A comprehensive investigation, published in the Journal of Environmental Management in December 2024, illustrated the evolutionary trend and development status of constructed wetland coupled with microbial fuel cells. The paper discussed constructed we

“In recent years, however, there has been growing recognition of the need for alternative approaches that integrate environmental sustainability and natural ecosystem services into coastal management. Green shorelines—nature-based solutions that harnes

This highlights the importance of wetland restoration as a nature-based climate solution, which could potentially offset significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), which are key contributors to

Catastrophic floods across Europe have caused death and destruction in recent months, including in Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania in September and the Spanish region of Valencia in October, where they claimed more than 220 lives. Exper

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Canada promote Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in Latin America and the Caribbean. The pilot projects in each selected country will include NbS in sectors such as transportation, integrated landscape managemen

The NBEN will be in Saint John, NB, next week demonstrating its benefit cost analysis tool for nature-based climate approaches. If you’re attending PEMAC’s Maintenance, Reliability and Asset Management Conference (September 23-25), we hope to see you a

Researchers are developing more permeable pavements to allow water to flow through streets rather than run off the surface and end up in residential basements in an effort to make cities more resilient to flooding caused by climate change. https://mont
