IISD Technical Brief: Mobilizing Knowledge on Gender, Equity, and Justice in Climate Change Adaptation
In an effort to increase the uptake of gender-responsive and socially inclusive approaches, IISD has systematically reviewed the IPCC WG II report and summarized the key messages on gender, equity, and justice. This technical brief unpacks the key messages with illustrative examples and a companion comic: A Story of Gender, Equity, and Justice in Climate Change Adaptation. The brief can be used on its own or with the comic to better understand and communicate this essential knowledge toward more just and effective approach to climate change.

Report on Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Nature-based Insurance Solutions in the Philippines and Asia
This study aims to explore how Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA) and Nature-Based Insurance Solutions (NbIS)
can effectively mitigate the impacts of climate-related hazards in the Philippines and in the region. It delves into
understanding the policy landscape, examining market practices through case studies, identifying challenges in
the sector, and proposing steps to scale EbA and NbIS solutions in the country.
Implementation Guidelines on Green Wall and Green Roofs
Increasing urbanization, coupled with limited urban planning, puts cities at risk from climate change. Ecosystem-based approaches to Adaptation (EbA) are a cost-effective approach to reduce the vulnerability of urban and peri-urban communities to climate change. The Green wall and green roofs are defined also potential urban EbA components and can be seen as complimentary to the land-based gardens in the efforts of maintaining green spaces in urban areas while there is limited land. The Implementation Guideline on Green Wall and Green Roofs has been developed based on practical experiences of piloting Green Wall and Green Roofs in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province, Viet Nam in the scope of the “Support to Viet Nam for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement” (VN-SIPA) project. The guideline aims at enabling the implementation of such measures in a variety of other contexts and locations by providing basic technical concepts, details of benefits, and implementation procedures.
Implementation Guidelines on Water Retention Areas
The interrelationship of urban development and growth and the increasing impact of climate change require that adjustments be made to urban planning and development. The integration of elements of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) into urban development provides an opportunity for cities create attractive, green, healthy, and livable urban spaces.
The Implementation Guidelines on Water Retention Areas have been developed based on practical experiences of piloting Water Retention Areas in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province, Viet Nam in the scope of the “Support to Viet Nam for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement” (VN-SIPA) project. The guidelines provide an in-depth analysis of the technical concepts regarding the measures and the financial requirements for users.
