Beyza Şat and her graduate student Emine Şen conducted a systematic literature review on the implementation of bioswales as nature-based solutions, addressing the growing challenges posed by climate change in urban areas. Their research aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 13 and 15, focusing on climate action and ecosystem preservation. With urban areas facing heightened risks from climate change, including increased stormwater runoff, bioswales offer a strategic approach for both adaptation and mitigation. The study analyzed bioswale design and performance based on factors such as materials, orientation, and location within urban landscapes, aiming to establish a framework that enhances ecosystem services and improves the quality of life for city residents.

The research underscores the importance of bioswales not only as a technological tool but also as a bridge between natural and socio-economic systems for urban resilience. It found that, with proper integration and regular maintenance, bioswales can yield sustainable benefits by reducing flood risks, improving water quality, and providing green spaces in urban environments. Additionally, the review highlighted the need for further case studies and real-life applications to better understand the accessibility and engineering considerations required for successful nature-based solutions in diverse urban contexts. This work is critical for informing policies and guiding future urban design strategies, making bioswales a valuable component in sustainable, resilient city planning.

The corporate carbon footprint is calculated and regularly reported in accordance with the ISO 14064 standard. Within this scope, it is aimed to reduce our impact on climate change through the established goals and objectives.
