LivGBGI Project
This RECLAIM funded LivGBGI project stands for “Living Lab Demonstration of GBGI’s Multiple Co-Benefits for Multi-Hazard Risk Reduction”.
Led by teams from the University of Surrey and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH). Its objective is to gather evidence for the direct benefits of Green-Blue-Grey Infrastructure (GBGI) for heatwaves and co-benefits for managing drought and flood risks, noise pollution and associated human health impairments.
