This is why Cabo Verde favours, where possible, “green” nature-based solutions (NbS) over “grey”, engineered, solutions. NbS mimic the characteristics of natural features (bio/geo-mimicry), but are enhanced or created by man to provide specific services such as wave energy dissipation and erosion reduction. They are more cost-effective and hold larger

NbS mimic the characteristics of natural features (bio/geo-mimicry), but are enhanced or created by man to provide specific services such as wave energy dissipation and erosion reduction. They are more cost-effective and hold larger co-benefits than engineered solutions which demand permanent maintenance.
