N2 - This report provides a comprehensive review of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) for flood risk reduction in coastal areas. By evaluating the effectiveness, costs, and co-benefits of NbS, the report identifies critical gaps in existing research, particularly inthe context of Danish coastal ecosystems. The literature review, including over 100 academic papers, reveals a lack of standardized frameworks for assessing the long-term performance and economic viability of NbS. In the report, a holistic research agenda is suggested that integrates ecological, economic, and social dimensions to support NbS's decision-making in coastal protection strategies. The findings underscore the need for further studies focused on cost-benefit analysis, valuation, and scenario-based modelling to enhance the understanding and application of NbS in addressing coastal flood risks.
