Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) is a strategy that harnesses biodiversity and ecosystem services to build the resilience of human communities and societies to the impacts of climate change.

This report, prepared jointly by Friends of EbA (FEBA), SwedBio and IUCN, explores the connections between ecosystem-based adaptation and each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Each section addressing threats posed by climate change, ecosystem degradation, and/or biodiversity loss, including how these impede the achievement of a given SDG. They then provide an overview of how an effectively implemented EbA approach can underpin the successful achievement of each SDG. The full bibliography provides context and information for expanding this knowledge base.
