Introduction to Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA)

As the most vulnerable communities face the threats that climate change is manifesting in our world, it is becoming increasingly apparent that effective protection, management, and enhancement of ecosystems is necessary to strengthen adaptation to climate impacts. The objective of this short self-paced course is to give you key information about Ecosystem-based Adaptation, a Nature-based Solution for climate adaptation.

In this course, you will learn:

• What Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is, and where it sits within the broader category of Nature-based Solutions (NbS).
• To understand the importance of considering gender, local leadership, and biodiversity outcomes within EbA interventions. 
• Start to understand what EbA looks like in practice.
