The European coasts are among the most densely populated of world, with natural sand dune barriers urbanised and replaced by traditional hard coastal protection structures. Without needed measures to adapt, number people exposed floods is anticipated increase 187 million worldwide end 21st century. In Europe, North Sea, Baltic Atlantic experience substantial flood risks from sea-level rise, climate extremes also expected impact southern Europe Mediterranean (Vousdoukas et al., 2017). Future management surpasses current fixed non-adaptive setup: Hybrid Nature-based-Solutions (abbreviated as NbS) that can efficiently integrate static infrastructure dynamic aeolian, vegetated sediments currently developed along urbanized areas sandy coasts, yet still at small scales.

Abstract Global biodiversity is projected to further decline under a wide range of future socio-economic development pathways, even in sustainability oriented scenarios. This raises the question how can be put on path recovery, core challenge for CBD post-2020 global framework. We designed two contrasting, ambitious conservation strategies, ‘Half Earth’ (HE) and ‘Sharing Planet’ (SP), evaluated their ability restore terrestrial freshwater provide ecosystem services while also mitigating climate change ensuring food security. applied integrated assessment framework IMAGE with GLOBIO model, using ‘Middle Road’ Shared Socio-economic Pathway (SSP2) its human population growth as baseline. found that both strategies result reduction loss globally, but without additional measures achieve effective mitigation they will insufficient biodiversity. The HE strategy performs better protection (biodiversity intactness (MSA), Red List Index, geometric mean abundance) currently still natural regions, reflecting priorities. SP yields more improvements human-used areas, aquatic regulating (pest control, pollination, erosion control), regional However, ‘conservation only’ scenarios show considerable increase security risks (especially Sub-Saharan Africa) compared baseline limited temperature increase. Only when are combined efforts actions especially agricultural energy system into portfolio ‘integrated measures’, restoring current values or some improvement, keeping warming below degrees Minimizing wastes reducing consumption animal products crucial.
