It proposes green infrastructure as an adaptation strategy for climate change and biodiversity conservation. In the face of climate change, dams, levees and floodways built as disaster prevention facilities do not sufficiently function against extraordinary events such as mega-floods and tsunami disasters. To prevent those disasters and loss of biodiversity in various ecosystems, we should shift from conventional hard measures to more adaptive strategies using various functions that natural and semi-natural ecosystems provide. Green infrastructure is an interconnected network of waterways, wetlands, woodlands, wildlife habitats and other natural areas that support native species, maintain natural ecological processes, sustain air and water resources and contribute to the health and quality of life for communities and people. Green infrastructure has mainly been discussed from adaptation strategy perspectives in cities and urban areas. However, to protect cities, which are generally situated at downstream lower elevations, we explore the preservation and restoration of forests at headwater basins and wetlands along rivers from a catchment perspective. In addition, the quantitative examination of flood risk, biodiversity, and social-economic benefits described in this book brings new perspectives to the discussion. The aim of this book is to accelerate the transformative changes from gray-based adaptation strategies to green- or hybrid-based strategies to adapt to climate change. The book provides essential information on the structure, function, and maintenance of green infrastructure for scientists, university students, government officers, and practitioners. 410 0$aEcological Research Monographs 606 $aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 606 $aGreen technology 606 $aEcotecnologia$2thub 606 $aCanvi climàtic$2thub 606 $aCondicions econòmiques$2thub 606 $aPolítica ambiental$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 610 $aOpen Access 610 $aGreen infrastructure 610 $aEcosystem-based disaster risk reduction 610 $aClimate change 610 $aAdaptation strategy 610 $aFlood 610 $aTsunami 610 $aHybrid-infrastructure 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aGreen technology. 615 7$aEcotecnologia 615 7$aCanvi climàtic 615 7$aCondicions econòmiques 615 7$aPolítica ambiental 700 $aNakamura$b Futoshi$4edt$01356559 702 $aNakamura$b Futoshi 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910522947903321 996 $aGreen infrastructure and climate change adaptation$93361149 997 $aUNINA
