Description: 

This paper explores conflict over green interventions on both process and outcome legitimacy. Cases from South Africa (Durban), Bangladesh (Dhaka), the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (UK) may illustrate standoffs over ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) and nature-based solutions in urban water-related risk management, and suggestions are made for improved practice.
