Methodology to Planning Green Infrastructure to Mitigate Landslide Risk

Green Infrastructures (GIs) can mitigate the effects of climate change and extreme events that they pose, by managing, for example, the devastating power of floods or landslides, re-establishing spaces and functions. Many tools are available and many more are emerging. The challenge is ensuring that well-planned GIs provide functions which will meet numerous planning objectives. We propose a methodology for the effective planning of a GIs network that can help public policies. The methodology’s application highlights how it is possible to identify the contact points between the protection of ecological integrity and the mitigation of landslide risk, in line with European Union (EU) strategies.
