ICSI is pleased to present Issue 2 of the Climate Resilient Infrastructure report series – A Focus on Nature. The report takes a closer look at nature-positive infrastructure that is rooted in an approach that builds with nature, as opposed to around it, and in turn, works to halt and reverse nature loss.
