Share your practices on Ecosystem Based Adaptation

By: Peter van Sluijs

Natureandpoverty.net is supporting the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in collecting practices on EbA.

Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) integrates the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services into an overall strategy to help people adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change. It includes the sustainable management, conservation and restoration of ecosystems to provide services that help people adapt to both current climate variability, and climate change.

Natureandpoverty.net is supporting the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in collecting practices on EbA. These practices will constitute an important source of information for future members of the Ecosystems and Livelihoods Adaptation Network (ELAN), a research-driven and action-oriented network of institutions, committed to delivering innovative and practical ecosystems-based solutions to climate change, based on the latest information and the diffusion of knowledge among network members. ELAN is a joint initiative by IUCN and WWF-US, financially supported by the McArthur Foundation.

We invite you to share your practices & case studies; tell us your stories and share your experiences on EbA that will help others in the work they are doing.

To facilitate documentation of practices attached format has been designed (via this website also available in French, Spanish and Bahasa Indonesia).

Practices can be directly submitted on the Natureandpoverty.net platform using this link -  In case you opt for on-line documentation of you practice please note to refer to the addendum in attached questionnaire with call specific questions

You can also send us your contribution completing the attached questionnaire and return it to info@natureandpoverty.net

We look forward to receiving your contributions!
Thank you in advance and with best wishes
