This Discussion paper aims to drive a national conversation across government, research, community and corporate sectors to inform and support cross-sector dialogue about nature positive disaster risk reduction solutions – a form of NbS.
NbS have demonstrated considerable potential to help tackle multiple challenges facing Australian communities, and the need to implement NbS continues to grow in urgency, with climate change increasingly overwhelming conventional infrastructure solutions and degrading existing natural environments.
The report describes how NbS can be used for disaster risk reduction in Australia, provides international and local case studies, and identifies key actions to support greater adoption of NbS in Australia.
