The publication explains the terminology of flood risk mitigation measures – especially differences among green and hybrid measures.
This article presents a summary for key stakeholders in the water sector, prepared in collaboration with the International Water Resources Association (IWRA), and presents key recommendations based on the current knowledge on flood risk mitigation through hybrid approaches. These recommendations are:
• While nature-based approaches are gaining traction in policy and funding priorities within the European Union and beyond, their implementation is complex.
• Combining nature-based, grey, and hybrid flood risk measures can often offer the most effective mitigation of flood risk.
• To fully understand the benefits of various flood mitigation measures, their effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability must be assessed in real-world settings throughout each project’s lifecycle to inform future projects.
