The Center for Coastal Climate Resilience (CCCR) at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has partnered with The Nature Conservancy to develop a new tool for funding wetland conservation and restoration projects through verifiable "Coastal Resilience Assets." These assets are based on the storm and flood protection benefits provided by wetlands, such as mangroves and marshes, which play a crucial role in reducing storm damages and providing flood protection. This innovative method creates investment opportunities for nature-based adaptation projects that help reduce climate risk to people and nature, offering a promising solution for climate experts seeking effective strategies for coastal resilience.
