Protecting communities by restoring floodplains and lowering carbon impact
Jacobs worked with the Environment Agency to deliver an entirely nature-based, carbon-negative solution to reduce flood risk to 95 properties in Low Crosby, Cumbria, U.K. The project, completed in 2023, aligned with multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (U.N. SDGs) and has provided over £15 million ($18.4 million) of quantified economic and environmental benefits, including long-term climate resilience.
