Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) planning tool 'ALivE' – user manual now available in 4 languages

The EbA planning tool ‘ALivE – Adaptation, Livelihoods and Ecosystems’ (version 1.0), a key EbA South project deliverable developed in partnership with IISD and IUCN, was launched in July 2018. It is designed to support EbA project managers and practitioners in organising and analysing information to plan effective EbA options within a broader EbA planning process. It is a rapid qualitative assessment technique that can be applied in any ecosystem types. Training workshops on ALivE were organised in the EbA South project pilot countries (Mauritania, Nepal and Seychelles) in the second half of 2018 and now the user manual is available in English, French, Nepalese and (with co-finance from IISD) Spanish. The computer-based tool and user manual are freely downloadable on https://www.iisd.org/project/ALivE.
