Collaborating for Ecosystem-based Adaptation

Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is a nature-based solution, defined as the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change (CBD, 2009 & 2010). EbA describes a range of ecosystem management activities, such as the sustainable management of forests, grasslands, and wetlands, that increase resilience of people and the environment to climate change.
