Over the last decade, EbA has become a uniting force for the common objectives among the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the Sustainable Development Goals. Leaders of governments, communities, corporations and other coalitions increasingly acknowledge that healthy resilient ecosystems lay the foundation for sustainable economic development, food and water security, disaster risk reduction and climate action.  More than a decade of evidence and investment behind EbA has been a pillar for the development of the broader umbrella concept of Nature-based Solutions. Since the initial investment of BMU-IKI into their first flagship EbA project in 2010 to UNEP, IUCN, and UNDP, these organisations have shared joint leadership in finding, implementing and scaling up Nature-based Solutions to adaptation.

Join us at COP26 to celebrate the successes of EbA around the world from the last decade, and hear exciting announcements to continue accelerating global progress in working with nature for climate resilience.
