For example, coastlines can be protected from sea level rise, erosion, and storm surges by the presence of mangrove swamps and wetlands, while inland, erosion can be reduced and flood control increased through the presence of forests. Research efforts to improve knowledge of nature-based solutions, expand measurement networks, and link natural, physical, and social sciences will advance our understanding of climate change and ecosystem interactions, as well as the societal impact of those interac tions.
