“…Grey infrastructural approaches are deeply engrained in certain cultural contexts, and shape institutional practices. Such biases are compounded by cognitive factors such as a lack of awareness of ecosystem services provided by NbS, lack of perceived responsibility for action or the discounting of climate risks [123,137,138] and similar issues that constrain innovation [95]. Overcoming these challenges requires strong institutions, and well-established planning structures, processes and instruments to ensure benefits across landscapes and seascapes [127,134].…”

There is growing awareness that ‘nature-based solutions' (NbS) can help to protect us from climate change impacts while slowing further warming, supporting biodiversity and securing ecosystem services. However, the potential of NbS to provide the intended benefits has not been rigorously assessed. There are concerns over their reliability and cost-effectiveness compared to engineered alternatives, and their resilience to climate change. Trade-offs can arise if climate mitigation policy encourages NbS with low biodiversity value, such as afforestation with non-native monocultures. This can result in maladaptation, especially in a rapidly changing world where biodiversity-based resilience and multi-functional landscapes are key. Here, we highlight the rise of NbS in climate policy—focusing on their potential for climate change adaptation as well as mitigation—and discuss barriers to their evidence-based implementation. We outline the major financial and governance challenges to implementing NbS at scale, highlighting avenues for further research. As climate policy turns increasingly towards greenhouse gas removal approaches such as afforestation, we stress the urgent need for natural and social scientists to engage with policy makers. They must ensure that NbS can achieve their potential to tackle both the climate and biodiversity crisis while also contributing to sustainable development. This will require systemic change in the way we conduct research and run our institutions. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Climate change and ecosystems: threats, opportunities and solutions’.

“…Landslide susceptibility, in general, refers to the likelihood of landslide occurrence based on site-speci c terrain conditions (Reichenbach et ). The vulnerability has been examined as a function of three important components such as exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity with their relevant indicators (Lange et al 2016). However, a comprehensive landslide inventory that lessens the risk of landslides to local communities is inadequate.…”

The frequency and intensity of landslides have increased due to variability in precipitation and temperature across the globe. Assessment of landslide risk is essential for devising effective mitigation and making societies resilient. Through an in-depth literature review from 1996 to 2021, this study carried out descriptive, thematic, and mechanism analyses of the current literature to identify the gaps in the literature and suggest a way forward. Findings revealed a steady increase in the publication of landslide studies over the years. Most of the studies were conducted on a regional scale. Modeling, landslides, climate change, multi-hazards, and vulnerability figured as the prominent keywords in the reviewed articles. Slope, precipitation, land use/land cover, proximity to coastal areas, risk, and adaptation strategies were found as the dominant thematic variables. A large number of reviewed articles utilized statistical models. Uncertainty in landslide-climate modeling, lack of advanced and interactive models for predicting landslide susceptibility; and less attention to environmental and economic vulnerability were identified as the major research gaps. Effective early warning systems, timely forecasting for landslides and effective risk assessment are also scant in the existing literature. The current study proposed a comprehensive future framework for landslide risk assessment and implies timely and appropriate landslide mitigation based on climate scenario data, deterministic models, and policy beliefs. Strengthening preventive actions, preparedness as an early warning system, immediate response mechanism, landslide adaptation behavior, socio-economic vulnerability, and decision support systems are suggested for future research.

“…Para Lima (2005), entende-se por "percepção do risco" a forma como os não especialistas pensam sobre o risco, e refere-se à avaliação subjetiva do grau de ameaça potencial de um determinado acontecimento ou atividade. Ao revisar a literatura sobre percepção, Lange et al (2013) entendem que, apesar de ser um processo psíquico e sociocultural relacionado aos mecanismos de significação, a percepção é determinada pelos seus próprios conhecimentos assim como de seu significado para sua própria vida. Tuan (1980) coloca que a percepção é a resposta dos sentidos aos estímulos ambientais e a atividade mental resultante da relação com o ambiente.…”

“…Santos et al (2008) sintetizam ao apontar que essa percepção vai para além do individual, é o mundo social e cultural que constrói as percepções, os valores e a ideologia. Enquanto Lange et al (2013) ressaltam que "enquanto os conhecimentos sobre um aspecto específico influenciam a percepção e a consciência de uma pessoa, essa consciência e os conhecimentos sobre o aspecto influenciam o seu comportamento". Portanto, a construção de sociedades mais resilientes passa pela transferência de conhecimento entre academia e sociedade, como colocado por Souza e Sobreira (2018).…”

Alagamentos na bacia do canal do Mangue – Rio de Janeiro: a busca de uma cidade sustentável

A percepção do risco é base para atuação da comunidade em ações de prevenção e proteção, acarretando na construção de sociedades mais resilientes. Os alagamentos na Bacia do Canal do Mangue (BCM) - Rio de Janeiro são recorrentes desde o início de sua urbanização, cujas tentativas de solução são historicamente baseadas na ideia de retirar a água de forma mais rápida possível da bacia. Todavia, devido a manutenção do problema, a municipalidade instalou, entre os anos de 2013 e 2019, grandes reservatórios conhecidos como piscinões associados a outras obras de macrodrenagem. Logo, o presente estudo busca compreender a atual percepção de risco a alagamentos dos frequentadores da bacia, avaliando se as obras resultaram em mudança na percepção. Para tanto, foram aplicados 104 questionários através do Google Forms, que foram distribuídos de forma remota em grupos sociais da área estudo. Os resultados demonstram que a maioria dos frequentadores da BCM sofreu com alagamentos e acreditam que são decorrentes da sistemas ineficientes de drenagem e da disposição incorreta de lixo nas vias públicas. Logo, propõem como solução a limpeza e ampliação do sistema de drenagem, assim como a conscientização da população. Sobre a percepção de alteração da evolução dos alagamentos, houve grande divergência, com relatos de diminuição, estabilização e até aumento. Desta forma, verifica-se a importância de maior divulgação da questão entre a população, para que ela participe na discussão e ajude na implantação de medidas mais pontuais como as propostas pelo manejo sustentável de águas pluviais urbanas.
