The combination of urbanization and global warming leads to urban overheating compounds the frequency intensity extreme heat events due climate change. Yet, risk can be mitigated by green-blue-grey infrastructure (GBGI), such as parks, wetlands, engineered greening, which have potential effectively reduce summer air temperatures. Despite many reviews, evidence bases on quantified GBGI cooling benefits remains partial practical recommendations for implementation are unclear. This systematic literature review synthesizes base mitigation related co-benefits, identifies knowledge gaps, proposes their maximize benefits. After screening 27,486 papers, 202 were reviewed, based 51 types categorized under 10 main divisions. Certain (green walls, street trees) been well researched capabilities. However, several other received negligible (zoological garden, golf course, estuary) or minimal (private allotment) attention. most efficient was observed in botanical gardens (5.0 ± 3.5°C), wetlands (4.9 3.2°C), green walls (4.1 4.2°C), trees (3.8 3.1°C), vegetated balconies 2.7°C). Under changing conditions (2070-2100) with consideration RCP8.5, there is a shift subtypes, either within same zone (e.g., Dfa Dfb Cfb Cfa) across zones [continental warm-summer humid] BSk [dry, cold semi-arid] Cwa [temperate] Am [tropical]). These shifts may result lower efficiency current future. Given importance multiple services, it crucial balance functionality, performance, co-benefits when planning future GBGI. inventory assist policymakers planners prioritizing effective interventions overheating, filling research promoting community resilience.

In the context of intensification flood risks, NbS propose an interesting approach to conciliate population’s protection and biodiversity. While this recently emerging concept has been subject numerous studies, there is still little work on issue in social sciences. However, it essential understand representations order help authorities overcome possible barriers implementing more projects for risk. As opinions experts eventually diffuse come shape general public we decided explore representation risk experts. We interviewed 19 actors who can be divided into two groups: theorists practitioners. These interviews were transcribed analyzed using textual statistics a qualitative analysis grid, identify main lines discourse how are organized. Combining techniques rather rare, but proves fruitful. The findings that groups diverge solutions encompasses do not seem represent same reality. lack collaboration between institutions field major obstacle implementation projects. Finally, have common basis which seems centered cognitive biases such as need control natural ecosystems, culture civil engineering. Moreover, results suggest expression “NbS” well suited all actors.
