Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) has the potential to significantly enhance the resilience of society to climate change and could be a key part of national and global adaptation efforts. However, despite growing interest among policymakers, donors, scientists and practitioners, the current pace and scale of EbA implementation falls far short of its potential.

At the nexus of sustainable development, human rights, climate action, and nature conservation, Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) recognises the symbiotic connections between people and ecosystems.

In 2012, the Government of Madagascar secured funding from the Adaptation Fund to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities. Madagascar’s rice sector is experiencing climate change through alterations in rainfall patterns and a rise of temperatures, leading to a reduction of water availability and decreasing yields.

This report is a Terminal Evaluation of a UNEP/Adaptation Fund project implemented between 2013 and 2021.The project's overall development goal was to: increase food supply and reduce soil erosion in communities surrounding five Community Protected Areas (CPAs) in Cambodia.

In 2011, the Government of Lesotho secured funding from the Global Environment Facility’s Least Developed Country Fund to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities.

In 2012, the Government of Tanzania secured funding from the Adaptation Fund and the Global Environment Facility’s Least Developed Country Fund to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities in coastal areas. The country is facing the impacts of climate change on the coasts through rain-induced flooding and sea-level rise.

The dryland forests of the Barind Tract and the wetlands of the Haor Area of Bangladesh provide a range of valuable ecosystem services to local communities that derive most of their income from agriculture and fishing. Climate change impacts, including droughts and floods, are harming communities that live in Haor and the Barind Tract, damaging agricultural productivity and fisheries.

The Mediterranean Sea region is suffering from the impacts of climate change on its coasts, worsened by rapid urbanization and high rates of deforestation and ecosystem degradation.

This report is a Terminal Evaluation of a UNEP/GEF project implemented between 2013 and 2019. The project's overall project goal was to build climate resilience in developing countries in Asia-Pacific and Africa by increasing their capacity to plan and implement Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA).

Healthy ecosystems are essential for human well-being and development. People worldwide depend on their services, such as provision of fertile soil, clean water and food as well as extreme event buffering and climate regulation. Ecosystems are essential for protecting our climate and adapting to climate change.

EBAFOSA’s Climate Action Digest - This issue of the Ecosystem-based Adaptation for Food Security Assembly’s (EBAFOSA) Climate Action Digest focuses on the implications of the recently-concluded UN Environment Assembly and its implications for Africa, as well as climate action initiatives that help curb plastic pollution in

Climate change is disproportionately affecting mountain regions with an amplified rate of warming compared to lower elevations and leading to rapidly changing conditions. These two booklets showcase adaptation solutions proven to be successful in response to specific issues caused, or accelerated by, climate change that negatively affect mountain communities’ livelihoods and ecosystems.
