ИСТИНА

"Green infrastructure" plays a very important role in the concept of sustainable development. Various components of "green infrastructure" provide a range of ecosystem services including provisioning, supporting, regulatory, and cultural. The study proposes a complex approach to the management of "green infrastructure", which foresees multifunctional use of its components. Among other ecosystem services, forests, coastal landscapes, green levees, and other components of "green infrastructure" perform protective functions. They can successfully complement the engineering protection measures against natural hazards and disasters, and become part of natural risk management.
