Dear
Friends
of
EbA
Community,
This
quarter’s
newsletter
allows
us
to
reflect
on
the
highlights
of
the
June
Climate
Meetings
in
Bonn,
Germany
(SB62).
During
these
meetings,
Parties
reaffirmed
the
urgency
of
enhancing
synergies
across
the
Rio
Conventions
to
address
the
interconnected
climate,
biodiversity,
and
land
crises.
Ecosystem-based
Adaptation
(EbA)
was
highlighted
as
a
key
pathway
to
achieve
the
Global
Goal
on
Adaptation
(GGA),
with
important
conversations
emerging
on
the
need
for
coherent,
equity-focused
indicators
and
the
growing
emphasis
on
transformational
adaptation.
Discussions
on
IPCC
AR7
guidance
and
adaptation
tracking
underscored
the
relevance
of
ecosystems,
non-economic
losses,
and
inclusive
data.
These
themes
took
centre
stage
at
the
11th
EbA
Knowledge
Day,
organised
by
FEBA
with
the
support
of
the
Global
EbA
Fund,
the
International
Climate
Initiative
(IKI),
the
Global
Adaptation
Network
and
the
UN
Environment
Progamme
(UNEP).
The
event,
which
took
place
on
June
21
and
brought
together
a
variety
of
state
and
non-state
actors
from
a
variety
of
fields,
spotlighted
EbA’s
response
to
a
shifting
political,
environmental
and
financial
landscape,
community-led,
people-centred
adaptation,
the
link
between
science
and
action,
and
solutions
for
scaling
up
and
moving
from
short-term
projects
to
long-term
partnerships.
As
the
road
to
COP30
continues,
FEBA
and
its
partners
are
advancing
ecosystem-based
approaches
that
centre
justice,
knowledge
integration,
and
cross-sectoral
collaboration.
From
new
working
groups
on
Loss
and
Damage
or
Psychological
Resilience
and
EbA
to
scaling
EbA
through
shared
governance,
momentum
is
growing
for
impactful,
systems-level
change.

for
news
from
FEBA
members
and
opportunities
for
collaboration.
