Nature-based solutions are no longer an environmental add-on to infrastructure planning. They are infrastructure. Mangroves attenuate storm surge. Wetlands reduce flood peaks. Urban forests cut cooling demand. Watershed forests protect water treatment systems. Soil bioengineering stabilises transport embankments. This book builds the analytical and practical case for deploying ecosystem services as structural components of critical infrastructure strategy across every major sector.

Drawing on peer-reviewed evidence from hydrology, coastal engineering, urban systems, transport ecology, and energy resilience, Nature-Based Solutions for Critical Infrastructure Resilience demonstrates what nature does in quantifiable infrastructure terms - and why the governance, financial, and regulatory systems that should be mobilising NbS at scale have so far failed to do so. The gap is not technical. It is institutional.

- Understand the hydrodynamic, thermodynamic, and geotechnical mechanisms through which ecosystems deliver infrastructure services
