EbA CoP Learning Brief: Implementing EbA together
In November 2020, the BMU-IKI funded and GIZ-implemented Global Project Mainstreaming EbA welcomed a group of over 200 Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) practitioners from 50 different countries to the 5th international EbA Community of Practice Workshop. The workshop took place in an entirely virtual format and aimed to create a space for exchange and mutual learning that fosters and improves the implementation of EbA during and beyond the ongoing pandemic. This Learning Brief offers insights into the discussions and findings of the event.
Toward gender-responsive Ecosystem-based Adaptation: Why it’s needed and how to get there
The GIZ Global Project Mainstreaming EbA is happy to share the recording of the online session ‘Toward gender-responsive Ecosystem-based Adaptation: Why it’s needed and how to get there’ with you, which launched and gave an overview of the publication of the same name.
Toward gender-responsive Ecosystem-based Adaptation: Why it’s needed and how to get there
The purpose of this report is twofold: to illustrate the importance of integrating gender considerations in EbA actions and to provide concrete examples of how this can be done in practice. It is designed for EbA practitioners and adaptation policy-makers, including government decision-makers and technical support staff, civil society organisations, private sector enterprises, and research institutions.
Documentation of the 7th EbA Knowledge Day, May 26 2021 – virtual event
The 7th EbA Knowledge Day – organized by GIZ and IUCN under the Friends of EbA (FEBA) network – took place on May 26th and was themed “Overcoming Barriers to Adaptation: Employing Innovative EbA Approaches to Upscale Nature-based Solutions (NbS)”.
How can Ecosystem-based Adaptation improve climate resilience for water-related infrastructure?
The GIZ Global Project Mainstreaming EbA is happy to share the recording of the free and public online session on the potential of Ecosystem-based Adaptation to improve climate resilience for water-related infrastructure.
Factsheet: Explanation of terms EbA and NbS
Understaning and explaining what Ecosystem-based Adaptation is can be tricky. This new facthseet developed by the Global project Mainstreaming EbA provides you with a brief overview and a simple visualization to help make the term EbA more clear. It also relates EbA to the now often discussed term ‘Nature-based Solutions’ and thereby offers an easy to remember bridge to avoid confusion.
Factsheet: The Global Project Mainstreaming Ecosystem-based Adaptation
The Global Project Mainstreaming EbA is a knowledge management project supports actors at international, national and local level to incorporate ecosystem-based adaptation into policy and planning processes of different sectors. A focus of the project lies on knowledge management within an international EbA community of practice. With the help of additional networks, the global EbA project has developed a variety of concepts, strategies, methods and tools to promote EbA and to inform adaptation negotiations, policies, strategies and action plans.
Building Resilience With Nature: Maximizing ecosystem-based adaptation through National Adaptation Plan processes
The following guidance note presents “why” and “how” the NAP process can be utilized as a key mechanism and driver to mainstream and upscale EbA. It is based on a recent analysis of 19 completed NAP documents that reviewed the inclusion of ecosystems and uptake of EbA measures. The document builds on the lessons learned from the review and identifies guiding principles and actions accordingly. It also presents an overview of ecosystems, ecosystem services and their role in adaptation, and how managing their transformation under a changing climate can contribute to reducing climate risks and impacts for both people and ecosystems. Furthermore, it focuses on guiding principles and recommended actions along the steps of the NAP process to integrate and enhance EbA.
Building Resilience With Nature: Ecosystem-based Adaptation in National Adaptation Plan Processes
National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes present a strategic opportunity to raise the profile of EbA approaches, providing a framework—and, potentially, financial resources—for implementation at scale. Based on this , the NAP Global Network undertook a review of 19 NAP documents to better understand the extent to which EbA, as a tool for adaptation, has been taken up in NAP processes. This analysis highlights the extent of integration and identification of ecosystems and EbA into National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), trends in how EbA was incorporated, and opportunities to strengthen the profile and quality of EbA.
Seminario virtual – Soluciones Naturales: nuevas herramientas para América Latina
Los seminarios virtuales organizados por GIZ en el sector temático “Bosques, Biodiversidad y Ecosistemas” (BBE) del programa EUROCLIMA+ informan sobre conceptos relevantes, presentan aspectos innovadores, y analizan de manera participativa los retos y oportunidades de los diversos actores en sus aportes a las NDC.
