The films explore how working with #nature & #biodiversity (restoring, connecting & protecting #naturalhabitat) can provide #NatureBasedSolutions to causes & consequences of #climatechange + create jobs, support #economicrecovery & provide mental & physical health benefits.
The @NatureBasedSols films are led by conversations with #localpeople involved in or affected by the projects, including farmers, businesses & #conservation organisations, complemented by interviews with world leading #climate scientists and #biodiversity experts.

This is one of many ways to manage our #coasts & deal with #erosion issues. 🧵[1/5]
Other options include:
1. Do nothing. This is cheap in theory but may have hidden costs due to having to deal with the impacts of erosion.

Other options include:
1. Do nothing. This is cheap in theory but may have hidden costs due to having to deal with the impacts of erosion.
2. Retreat and relocate. This involves moving infrastructure and property back away from the area of risk and allowing the coast to do its thing in a more natural manner. There are big challenges with how you do this and manage people who own beachfront property.

3. Soft engineering solutions. This includes doing things like beach nourishment and rebuilding dunes using "soft" approaches like fences. It has costs and does not provide a hard line beyond which the beach cannot erode.
