Practice-oriented research into the Future Shore

Much comes together in delta regions. As a transition from land to sea, they possess great ecological and economic value. For instance, they harbor a wide diversity of plant and animal species, important shipping routes, and the most fertile areas for agriculture. But how do we ensure that naturalness and human use remain in balance, now and in the future? And how can we design and manage delta landscapes so that they are climate-resilient for humans and animals? Building with Nature conducts research into this Future Shore and how Nature-based Solutions can contribute to it.
