In Oktober 2022, the IKI-funded and GIZ-implemented Global Project Mainstreaming EbA hosted an online launch event for the publication ‘Synergies between adaptation, biodiversity and mitigation: How Ecosystem-based Adaptation can build bridges between Nationally Determined Contributions and the new Global Biodiversity Framework‘.
Building synergies between climate and biodiversity policies can increase the possibility of international support for implementing and upscaling ecosystem-based approaches and policies. After some general considerations on the role of EbA in building bridges that bring multiple benefits for adaptation, mitigation, biodiversity, society and human well-being, the authors of the study apply this perspective to three cases (Pakistan, Jordan and Costa Rica), exploring synergies of ecosystem-based approaches in the water, agriculture and urban sectors.
