Demonstrateors of the NATURE-DEMO project
NATURE-DEMO will validate its general methodology for prioritising Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and its digital Platform to case specific scenarios. The project identified the needs for five locations within the Alpin biogeographic region that span different infrastructure sectors and include transportation (roads and railways), green-infrastructure, and hydropower systems (two dams). The demonstrators also address different climatic threats that focus on (fluvial and pluvial) floods, settlement, landslides, and wildfire.
