Synopsis: Global concerns and local problems are increasing not only in urban areas but also in regions where the human impact is minimal. The global consequences of exploiting and irreversibly utilising natural resources are becoming evident. Climate change, characterised by erratic weather patterns and global warming, has become prevalent around the world. This has resulted in the increased occurrence of many calamities, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and other related disasters. The efficacy of decision-making processes determines the alternative methods for discovering solutions and ensuring readiness for future advancements. These kinds of difficulties require profound contemplation and reflection on concepts from multiple viewpoints and necessitate engaging discussions. By implementing nature-based solutions (NBS) and blue and green infrastructure (BGI), it is possible to mitigate their occurrences and address concerns.
