Thematic Paper 2: Linkages Between Biodiversity and Climate Change and the Role of Science-Policy-Practice Interfaces for Ensuring Coherent Policies and Actions
Thematic Paper 2 scrutinises the role of science-policy-practice interfaces for ensuring coherent biodiversity and climate change policies and actions.
‘Down to earth – why soils play a key role in ecosystem-based adaptation
There is an unprecedented interest in nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation. But something very important is often missing from discussions of such solutions: the role of healthy soils. As habitats for plants and animals, as regulators of climate and water, and as the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems and the vast majority of our food production, soils are critical to all ecosystem services – including those that humans depend on for survival.
This guidebook aims to demonstrate the importance of sustainable soil management (SSM) for adaptation to climate change, biodiversity conservation and the achievement of long-term food security. By adopting nature-based solutions such as ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), farmers can dramatically increase their productivity while adapting to climate risks.
The Value of Reefs for Protecting the Most Vulnerable Populations in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Grenada
The quantitative, spatially-explicit analyses applied in this study highlight where reefs provide the greatest flood protection services to vulnerable populations in DR, Jamaica and Grenada. This work identifies where future reef loss may have the greatest impacts on vulnerable populations and where enhanced conservation and restoration will deliver the most benefits.
Addressing Climate Change Through Integrated Responses: Linking adaptation and mitigation
Sustainable development, climate change adaptation, and mitigation are inextricably interconnected, with potential for conflicts and trade-offs, as well as synergies and co-benefits. This policy brief aims to build on a series of recent peer learning events focused on addressing climate change through integrated responses by linking adaptation and mitigation at the planning and implementation stages.
Guia para Monitoramento e Avaliação de Intervenções de Adaptação baseada em Ecossistemas
O Guia para Monitoramento e Avaliação (M&A) de medidas de Adaptação baseada em Ecossistemas (AbE) fornece uma descrição detalhada do processo para planejamento e implementação de M&A e medição de seus resultados e a eficácia da intervenção para AbE aplicada.
Ficha informativa: Publicaciones del Proyecto Global “Integración de la AbE”
Una recopilación de todas las publicaciones sobre la adaptación basada en los ecosistemas producidos por el proyecto global “Itegración de la AbE” (Mainstreaming EbA) financiado por BMU-IKI. En el documento encontrarás breves descripciones y enlaces, así como códigos QR para cada publicación. De esta manera, obtener una visión general de lo que está disponible y encontrar lo que necesita es más fácil y rápido. La lista se actualizará periódicamente con nuevas publicaciones.
Ficha informativa: explicación de los términos AbE y SbN
Entender y explicar qué es la adaptación basada en los ecosistemas puede ser un desafío. Esta ficha informativa elaborada por el proyecto global “Integración de la AbE” (Mainstreaming EbA) ofrece una breve descripción y una sencilla visualización para ayudar a aclarar el término AbE, así como su relación con las “soluciones basadas en la naturaleza” (SbN), término utilizado con frecuencia en la actualidad.
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.
