This publication, Building Resilience to Climate Change: Ecosystem-based adaptation and lessons from the field, contains eleven case studies covering different ecosystems and regions around the world. Its aim is to summarize some current applications of the Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) concept and its tools used around the world, and also draw lessons from experiences in conservation adaptation.
This book intends to contribute to fill the aforementioned gaps, specifically by compiling a set of current operational case studies from around the globe and by highlighting some practical adaptation planning processes that may advance the development of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), and conservation adaptation strategies. Here, eleven case studies from different parts of the world covering a variety of ecosystems are presented and discussed. Between them, the case studies cover a range of adaptation interventions, some focused on adaptation for conservation purposes, and some focused on supporting people to adapt to climate change, through Ecosystem-based Adaptation. Many of the case studies have both elements, in recognition of the fact that in order to continue to provide services to enable people to adapt to climate change, ecosystems themselves also will need to adapt.
