Understanding Nature-Based Infrastructure

Nature-Based Infrastructure (NBI) involves utilizing or mimicking natural processes to provide infrastructure services. This encompasses a range of solutions, from preserving and restoring natural ecosystems like wetlands and forests, to implementing hybrid approaches that integrate engineered structures with natural elements, such as green roofs and rain gardens. NBI delivers multiple benefits, including flood mitigation, water filtration, climate regulation, and biodiversity enhancement. Understanding the optimal timing for NBI implementation is crucial. Ideally, NBI considerations should begin during the early planning and design phases of any infrastructure project. This allows for seamless integration and maximizes the potential for natural systems to provide cost-effective and sustainable solutions. Construction phases should prioritize minimizing disruption to existing ecosystems, and carefully implementing designs that allow natural systems to function effectively. Attendees of this event will gain knowledge on the core aspects of NBI, and when to implement those practices.
