Urban Ecosystem-based Adaptation: Regreening Cities to Tackle Climate Change

The Ecosystem-based Adaptation Briefing Note Series aims to foster a common understanding of key concepts, issues and considerations to help design, plan and implement successful ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) initiatives. It highlights issues, trade-offs and tensions that need to be addressed to enable EbA to form part of – and contribute to – the wider landscape of climate change adaptation in the context of sustainable development.

This briefing note explores the strategy of EbA in urban environments. It includes two case studies from Thailand and a project in Latin America and the Caribbean.
