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.
Discussion series: “Entry points for mainstreaming Ecosystem-based Adaptation”
Two online sessions discuss entry points for mainstreaming adaptation by providing two sets of examples. The first set of case studies is on Peru and South Africa. The second one focuses on Vietnam, Mexico and the Philippines.
Video: “Qué es la adaptación basada en ecosistemas?”
El video explica el concepto de Adaptación basada en los Ecosistemas (AbE). Introduce a ejemplos prácticos y explica la relevancia de la AbE en el contexto de la política internacional y nacional.
Video: “Adaptation and Blue Carbon in Mexico”

La comunidad de práctica de AbE
La comunidad internacional de práctica sobre la AbE tiene por objetivo el intercambio del conocimiento y de la experiencia y el aprendizaje mutuo sobre la adaptación basada en ecosistemas (AbE) más allá de proyectos, instituciones y fronteras regionales. El propósito es desarrollar el enfoque AbE, dar a conocer lecciones aprendidas y buenas prácticas para diseñar e implementar la AbE con el fin de ayudar a la gente a adaptarse a los efectos adversos del cambio climático.
Climate Risk Assessment for Ecosystem-based Adaptation – a guidebook for planners and practitioners
A guidebook developed by GIZ in collaboration with Eurac Research and United Nations University – Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) helps planners and practitioners in designing and implementing climate risk assessments in the context of Ecosystem-based Adaptation projects.
Finance options and instruments for Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA): Overview and compilation of ten examples
The report provides an overview of available financing sources to implement and sustain EbA measures. It highlights ten practical and illustrative examples to inspire project developers and practitioners interested in exploring different ways to access resources and engagement models for EbA financing.
Entry Points for Mainstreaming Ecosystem-Based Adaptation: The Case of South Africa
This case study from South Africa was developed by GIZ as part of a series which summarizes promising policy entry points and governance structures for EbA mainstreaming at policy and practitioner level. It provides five examples that illustrate the diversity of initiatives that support the mainstreaming of EbA but also show existing barriers.
