🌿 The Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) revolution is coming! A recent study from The Nature Conservancy and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service highlights its cost-effectiveness, showing a 77% reduction in cost compared to upgrading gray infrastructure alone. Beyond cost savings, GSI offers profound social and environmental benefits. SIG-NAL's Sustainable Cities Program is dedicated to championing GSI as a vital climate adaptation strategy for resilient urban communities. #GreenInfrastructure #ClimateResilience #ClimateChange #FloodResilience #Flooding🏙️🌱

It is the eve of the Government of Alberta's inaugural #Nature Summit where stakeholders will weigh in on #Alberta's Nature Strategy. Together with Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society - Southern Alberta, Pembina Institute, Nature Alberta, Alberta Wilderness Association, Alberta Native Plant Council, Edmonton River Valley Conservation Coalition (ERVCC) , ShagowAskee Foundation and Healthy YEG, we have put forth our vision for a strategy that will tackle the biggest threats to the province's natural landscapes (attached below). ℹ To learn more, read our joint statement: https://lnkd.in/gQ_2R9eh We are urging the government to adopt six key pathways to protect nature in Alberta. The 6 pathways as outlined in "A Collaborative Vision for Alberta's Nature Strategy" include: ✍ Comprehensive land use planning  🌿 Expanded network of parks and protected areas  ✊🏾 Indigenous-led conservation   🏔 Habitat conservation and restoration  💡 Sustainable economic opportunities  🌍 Nature-based climate solutions

Arup - How can coastal cities prepare for climate change? Throughout human history, coastal cities and their surrounding areas have been vital hubs of the global economy, benefitting from their proximity to the sea, becoming key nodes of global trade and communication. However, as climate change reshapes our coastlines, local populations face significant environmental, economic, and social challenges. Rising sea levels, stronger storms, and coastal erosion are pressing issues that require immediate action. So, how should coastal communities prepare for and respond to the impacts of climate change? Here are six ways that we can prepare and strengthen our changing city coastlines. https://lnkd.in/eZxMfuPF #Coastal #CoastalNews #CoastalProtection

🌊 Natural England is leading the LIFE WADER project, a groundbreaking initiative to restore and protect fragile river, coastal, and marine habitats along the Northumberland Coast and Tweed catchment. The project tackles challenges like water pollution, climate change, and invasive species while inspiring community action and raising awareness about these vital ecosystems. We collaborated with the LIFE WADER team to design a stunning new website that engages stakeholders, provides accessible resources, and showcases the incredible restoration work being done. 🖥 Read our latest case study to explore how we brought their vision to life: https://lnkd.in/eajMb2tJ #LIFEWADER #NaturalEngland #NatureRecovery #CaseStudy #Project #Conservation #NewWebsite #WebDesign
