Implementation of a Strategic Framework for Scaling Up Ecosystem-Based Adaptation: Success Factors and Lessons Learned from the EbA-LAC Program
The program “Scaling Up Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Measures in Rural Latin America” (EbA-LAC), implemented in Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Guatemala, generated a valuable set of experiences that illustrate how the scaling up of EbA measures occurs in practice.
Thematic Paper 9: Enhancing Synergies to Advance Gender-Responsive Approaches Under the CBD and UNFCCC Frameworks
As climate change and biodiversity loss exacerbate existing inequalities, a gender-responsive governance approach is necessary to achieve ambitious, equitable, and lasting outcomes. Thematic Paper 9 argues that gender equality is a foundational prerequisite for effective climate and biodiversity action.
Thematic Paper 10: Resources and Platforms for Capacity Building and Development for Climate and Biodiversity Action
Achieving climate–biodiversity synergies requires sustained investment in individual, institutional, and systemic capacities, yet current efforts remain fragmented. Thematic Paper 10 identifies capacity building as a key enabler of the UNFCCC, Paris Agreement, CBD, and Kunming-Montreal GBF, supporting countries in translating commitments into action.
Thematic Paper 7: Synergies for Monitoring and Reporting on Climate and Biodiversity Actions: Global Frameworks and National Opportunities
Thematic Paper 7 highlights transparency as a shared pillar of the CBD/GBF and the Paris Agreement, illustrating that integrated monitoring and reporting can strengthen climate-biodiversity synergies while reducing reporting burdens and improving policy coherence. The paper presents the monitoring frameworks of the GBF and the Paris Agreements, discusses opportunities at the global level for enhancing synergies between them, and compiles good practices and recommendations for aligning monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) systems at the national level
Implementación de un marco estratégico para el escalamiento de la adaptación basada en ecosistemas: factores de éxito y lecciones aprendidas del Programa EbA LAC

Nate Nature’s Digital Learning Resources
Nate Nature’s Digital Learning Resources is a curated compilation of publicly available online courses developed as part of the capacity development efforts of GIZ – Strengthening Disaster Resilience and Risk Mitigation through Ecosystem-based Planning and Adaptation (E4DR) Project. The resource brings together a range of digital learning opportunities covering ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), climate resilience, environmental topics, and complementary professional skills.
From Concept to Impact: The Biodiversity Mainstreaming Journey under the CBD
The study shows how the concept of biodiversity mainstreaming has become a cornerstone of global biodiversity governance. It offers an overview of various entry points for mainstreaming biodiversity considerations into different thematic areas, such as in finance, policy planning cycles and monitoring frameworks, and discusses mainstreaming approaches in key sectors, i.e. land-use planning, forestry, infrastructure, and tourism. Case studies from Indonesia, Mexico and Thailand illustrate how biodiversity mainstreaming can be put into practice through national policy instruments and planning processes.
