Advancing flood resilience: the nexus between flood risk management, green infrastructure, and resilience by Mehrafarin Takin, Elizelle Juanee' Cilliers, Elizelle Juanee' Cilliers, Sumita Ghosh

“…Yet, such responsive approaches are still limited and context-specific.MethodsIn this article, thematic analysis using NVivo was employed to analyse 49 documents related to flood risk management, resilience, and green infrastructure planning.ResultsThis paper reflects on the concepts of flood risk management, flood resilience and green infrastructure planning to identify the synergies between these concepts, and identify challenges that are prohibiting global flood resilience.DiscussionEnhancing flood resilience requires coordinated efforts, effective communication, and collaborative governance among stakeholders. …”

The benefits of coastal adaptation through conservation of foreshore vegetation by Timothy Tiggeloven, Hans deMoel, Vincent T. M. vanZelst, Bregje K. vanWesenbeeck, Hessel C. Winsemius, Dirk Eilander, Philip J. Ward

“…We show that globally foreshore vegetation can contribute to a large decrease in both absolute and relative flood risk (13% of present‐day and 8.5% of future conditions in 2080 of global flood risk). Although this study gives a first proxy of the flood risk reduction benefits of conserving foreshore vegetation at the global scale, it shows promising results for including Nature‐based and hybrid adaptation measures in coastal adaptation schemes.…”

Strategic land acquisition for efficient and equitable flood risk reduction in the United States by Jiyang Zhang, Haochi Zheng, Xiaodong Zhang, Zhulu Lin, Jeffrey VanLooy, Aaron Kennedy

“…Compared to acquiring lands with high benefit-cost ratios, strategically acquiring lands in poorer and more populous areas would improve both social outcomes with only low to moderate reductions (13 %–43 %) in the economic efficiency. As global flood risk is projected to rise with disproportionate impact on the poor, our research highlights the social and economic capacities of strategic land acquisition for nationwide flood adaptation.…”

The impact of lake and reservoir parameterization on global streamflow simulation by Zajac, Z, Revilla-Romero, B, Salamon, P, Burek, P, Hirpa, F, Beck, H

“…<p>Lakes and reservoirs affect the timing and magnitude of streamflow, and are therefore essential hydrological model components, especially in the context of global flood forecasting. However, the parameterization of lake and reservoir routines on a global scale is subject to considerable uncertainty due to lack of information on lake hydrographic characteristics and reservoir operating rules. …”
