Abstract

Climate change doesn’t just bring about higher temperatures, but floods. In the UK, flooding is the biggest natural hazard. Maeve Sherry argues that the best way to defend urban areas from flood risk is to seek nature-based solutions like green spaces, wetlands and parks and use the biodiversity net gain legislation to achieve this.
