In these videos a number of experts will touch upon a wide variety of nature based solution in coastal protection. Are you curious about the challenges of the climate crisis on the Belgian coast? About the long term evolution? About the different kinds of coastal protection? How these forms of protection can be made more durable and resilient? About the added values and some examples abroad?
