Description:
This report proposes a simple, practical methodology for screening (rather than assessing) ecosystem services in areas where green infrastructure may contribute to reducing current (or future) weather- and climate-related natural hazards. The hazards addressed include landslides, avalanches, floods, soil erosion, storm surges and carbon stabilization by ecosystems. Several case studies at the European level outline the screening process and also summarize recent estimates of the economic value of green infrastructure.
