Building Resilience of Ecosystems for Adaptation

Through the Ecosystem-based Adaptation Programme, UNEP works to develop effective EbA approaches, and helps vulnerable communities adapt to climate change through good ecosystem management practices and their integration into global, regional, national and local climate change strategies and action plans. UNEP’s EbA Flagship is being implemented in diverse ecosystem settings, including mountains, river basins, dry-lands and low-lying coasts. The work is delivered through three main overarching components:

1. Assessments and knowledge support
2. Capacity building and demonstration
3. Integration of EbA options into national development and adaptation plans
