Blue-green infrastructure. Gradually the effects of climate change are seen worldwide. Floods as well as other extreme climatic events are expected to be increased. However is it uncertain whether the current efforts towards facing these issues will be enough to overcome the future climatic challenges. 

The cities are expected to develop strategies to face climate change. For instance, here in this video an example of the so-called “Blue-green infrastructure” is shown. Blue-green infrastructure can help to mitigate the effects of climate change as they implement several ecosistem services. 

The facility located in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund, it receives urban water run-off and function as an urban water reservoir for stormwater.
In the video, you can see that plants have developed in this site (minute 2:43) and selected technical aspects about this type of systems are mentioned this video (e.g. minute 1:55).
