Discover why integrating Engineering with Nature (EWN)® is key to mitigating and adapting to climate change impacts
Today’s environmental, social, and economic fabric can be enhanced with the integration of nature-based solutions, also known as Engineering with Nature (EWN)®, and that enhancement is the key to future global resiliency. EWN is a planning and design approach developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the University of Georgia (UGA) that applies natural solutions and nature-based features for mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. Network for Engineering with Nature (N-EWN), a community of researchers, practitioners, and educators, is working to apply EWN to real-world applications, education, and outreach—and relies on collaboration with industry partners.
Our job? We’re helping N-EWN respond to a national executive order, which requires the implementation of natural solutions for climate change projects. We’re participating in events and workshops, and we’re contributing to promotional campaigns such as the EWN Podcast. Collaborating closely with N-EWN, we’re involved in presentations on funding, a national summit with agency heads, benefit cost analysis (BCA) standardization, exploring international partnerships, and the adoption of EWN concepts into military installations.
Together, we’ll use natural solutions to protect and sustain our communities’ infrastructure, natural resources, and develop climate change solutions.
