Executive summary
This foresight review explores the emerging field of Nature-Positive Engineering (NPE) through an in-depth exploration of three key sectors where engineering and natural systems interact significantly: coastal protection and adaptation; ports; and offshore renewable energy. The insights gathered aim to bring clarity, catalyse action within the engineering community, and support the safe, scaled adoption of NPE. Its findings and recommendations are designed to be relevant to all stakeholders involved in infrastructure development and transferable across all sectors.
