Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Resilience | Dr Debroah Villaroel-Lamb

In this episode of The Climate Conscious Podcast, we delve into the impact of climate change on coastal communities in the Caribbean

Dr. Deborah Villarroel-Lamb is an advocate for innovative engineering solutions in coastal protection. She outlines how hard and soft engineering solutions and a hybrid approach can be deployed to safeguard coastal assets. 

The discussion highlights the intersection of engineering and ecology, examining how integrating nature into design processes can enhance resilience while promoting sustainability. We explore the trade-offs and benefits of different strategies in coastal management, including. Nature-based solutions (NbS)

Dr. Villarroel-Lamb shares insights from an ongoing project aimed at boosting coastal resilience in the Caribbean, emphasizing the need for collaboration, innovation, and holistic approaches to address these complex challenges.

Join us as we explore how a transdisciplinary approach, blending engineering expertise with ecological principles, holds the key to securing the future of coastal communities in the Caribbean in the face of climate change.
