Description: 

This paper provides a review on how green infrastructure and NbS in coastal and shallow nearshore areas can contribute to blue climate change mitigation and adaptation. It also summarises available coastal infrastructure types (green, gray, and green–gray hybrid) in terms of their inherent functions and potential co-benefits.
