This study supports decision-making for nature-based solutions (NBS) to address mitigate these hazards. Using multi-criteria decision analysis, simulation modeling, and spatial analysis, the study identified precipitation and river discharges as key hazard drivers. Mapping hazard severity at various scales, the findings suggest that expanding green areas and water storage can enhance water management and reduce hazard impacts. This research offers critical insights for NBS adoption in water-related risk reduction.展开更多
