Property insurers have been cautious about updating rates to account for nature-based solutions designed to reduce flood risks. They cite data and research gaps and argue more evidence is needed on how these solutions perform in comparison with grey or hybrid solutions. Learn how the Environmental Defense Fund, City of Boston, and Stone Living Lab are in the process of making the case for nature-based solutions. Their argument: these solutions result in lower risks and greater benefits for communities. Their work can change how insurers factor in these solutions when calculating new rates.Ìý Ìý
