Towards Resilient Aquatic Ecosystems: Integrating Nature-Based Solutions and Adaptive Strategies in the Face of Climate Change – a Focus on the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Region

This study examines the effects of climate change on Kosynthos and Laspias river basins in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece, focusing on flooding, pollution, and droughts. It uses Earth Observation and stakeholder engagement to analyse climate impact and propose Nature- based, sustainable mitigation and adaptation strategies. These strategies will promote ecosystem and community resilience, emphasising on the need for integrated approaches in urban planning and environmental management for sustainable, resilient aquatic environments.
