The 5th EbA Knowledge Day was jointly organized by GIZ, IUCN and IIED under FEBA network in the framework of UNFCCC SB 50. During the day, UN negotiators, policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and donors working on issues relevant to climate adaptation, ecosystem management and human resilience got together to enhance knowledge on assessing effectiveness of EbA measures and to better understand governance frameworks relevant for EbA mainstreaming. Key messages from the Knowledge Day were:
- EbA effectiveness and governance are interlinked topics,
- Robust monitoring & evaluation systems are needed to underline the cost-effectiveness of EbA and to estimate more in detail the number of people benefitting,
- Governance of EbA is of crucial importance, as appropriate governance structures ensure that EbA as an approach can be mainstreamed and included in national plans and strategies,
