Nature-based Solutions for reducing disaster risk. What is the evidence?

Growing interest in Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) has led to new investments in ecosystem restoration, conservation and hybrid solutions with gray engineering to reduce the impact of hazards, while providing livelihood benefits. However due to the local specificities of ecosystems, it is difficult to provide standard guidance or performance measurements to guide NbS for DRR. This Special Issue calls for papers that advance scientific knowledge, present empirical data, or review metadata on the performance of NbS in reducing hazard impacts worldwide. Papers from the Global South are especially welcome.
