Tools to Support the Implementation of Ecosystem-based Adaptation
The online session “Tools to Support the Implementation of Ecosystem-based Adaptation” was organized by the GIZ Global Project Mainstreaming EbA funded under the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.
Water Funds: An option to implement Ecosystem-based Adaptation measures (EbA)
Through the GIZ Sector Network for Environmental Management and Rural Development (GADeR-ALC) Colombia, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador came together to develop technical-communication material that shows in a practical way how Water Funds are an option to implement Ecosystem-based Adaptation measures. Water Funds are stable, transparent and long-term financial mechanisms that gather a variety of users as well as public and private actors around a common goal to contribute to water security through Nature-based Solutions and sustainable watershed management.
Fondos de Agua: una alternativa para implementar acciones de Adaptación basada en Ecosistemas – AbE

Solutions in Focus: Ecosystem-Based Adaptation from Mountains to Oceans – How people adapt to climate change by using nature
Ecosystem-based Adaptation is a topic of global relevance that is implemented successfully in a broad range of countries and ecosystems.
A new publication developed by GIZ under the PANORAMA initiative illustrates the diversity of EbA in practice – ‘from mountains to oceans’
Video: Using ecosystems for climate change adaptation
This short movie introduces to climate change and how ecosystems can be used to help people to adapt to the adverse effects.
Blue Training Courses
Capacity development is a key factor for supporting ownership and action towards resilient coastal and marine ecosystems. The training courses aim to strengthen the capacities of decision makers, practitioners, and stakeholders to overcome competing interests and uncoordinated approaches at sea. They provide participants with tools to find their own solutions to respond to the challenges facing the marine environment.
Training Course “Valuing the benefits, costs and impacts of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) measures”
The objective of the training is to build awareness and knowhow about why, how and in which contexts EbA assessment and valuation can be used to strengthen climate adaptation planning and implementation in different decision-making contexts.
