Addressing riverine flooding with nature-based solutions in the Thessaly region, Greece – Pre-feasibility study

Authored by Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation & World Wildlife Fund Greece

Thessaly faces growing flood risks that threaten lives and local economies. This study presents Nature-based Solutions (NbS) as a sustainable, adaptable alternative to conventional infrastructure. It identifies tailored interventions across eight sub-basins to reduce flood exposure and restore ecosystems. The work sets the stage for pilot projects and long-term regional resilience.
