Abstract
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 in
the 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.
