New factsheet series on EbA

Now available on Adaptation Community: The new movie series “Living Adaptation” showcases best practice examples of climate change adaptation measures in agriculture and rural development. It contains four short video clips presenting best practices from GIZ India, Madagascar, Ethiopia, and a regional project in southern Africa. The accompanying overarching movie, titled “Pathways to Climate Resilient Agri-Food Systems” and published by BMZ, briefly introduces the topic of climate change adaptation in agriculture and rural development more broadly – and gives a quick glimpse into the various country experiences.

During June and July 2023, Private Adaptation Finance (PAF) organized the kick-off events for the second cohort of the Private Adaptation Investment Bootcamp (PrivABoo) program.

Germany joins the international Agroecology Coalition, thereby strengthening its commitment to sustainable and socially just agriculture and future-proof rural areas. Through its holistic approach, agroecology contributes to the greatest challenges of our time: climate protection, the fight against hunger and the preservation of biodiversity.

This new report, which suggests to link Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) with agroecological approaches to transform our agri-food systems in a climate resilient and nature-friendly way, is now online! It outlines three case studies applying the approach in India, Kenya, and Guatemala, providing practical steps to merge agroecology and EbA to adapt agricultural landscapes to climate change.
