Abstract

1. In the context of climate change, the vulnerability of natural ecosystems to extreme rainfall events (ER) is a well-documented issue. In urban areas, this exposure is further exacerbated by the pressures of rapid population growth and the concentration of settlements in flood-prone zones. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) offer a promising approach to mitigate the effects of both challenges by leveraging their capacity to provide essential ecosystem services.
2. This study employed a systematic review, following the PRISMA methodology, of 50 scientific publications to explore the current state of knowledge regarding the mitigation of the effects of ER occurrence in urban stream areas.
3. Results showed that modeling and thematic mapping (38%), as well as descriptive analyses, diagnostics and experimental case studies (32%) were the most frequently used methodologies to analyze the role of NbS in mitigating the effects of climate change in urban areas.
4. The reviewed studies were located principally in Europe (52% of the total manuscripts), South America and Asia (12% each). Regarding mitigation strategies, 40% of the analyzed cases proposed mitigation based on the implementation of green and blue infrastructure; 32% relied solely on green infrastructure; 22%, solely on blue infrastructure, and the remaining 6% on urban agriculture proposals.
5. The main actions identified in these studies were related to the restoration and renaturalization of urban rivers and streams in response to the threats posed by ER.
6. Implications. The review synthesizes current knowledge, revealing a predominance of specific methodological approaches and a marked geographical concentration of studies. This underscores the need to expand research and application of NbS in other regions to comprehensively address hydro-meteorological risks in urban environments.
