A package of interventions for dunes restoration

• Societal challenge : disaster risk reduction, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, food security
• Interventions: ecosystems creation (dune, forest) ; improved management of ecosystems used for human activities
• Lessons learned: importance of inclusive governance and trade-off; importance of monitoring to adapt
