About Nature-based Solutions and climate adaptation
Climate change is causing a wide array of impacts around the world, such as sea-level rise, increased climate variability, and more frequent or intense droughts, floods, and wildfires. These impacts have increasingly severe social and economic consequences, with adaptation needs particularly urgent in听low and lower middle-income nations听and听Small Island Developing States, as they are experiencing the most severe impacts of climate change and have lower adaptive capacity.
Healthy ecosystems provide important听ecosystem services听that can contribute to climate change adaptation. For example, healthy mangrove ecosystems provide protection from the impacts of climate change, often for some of the world's most vulnerable people, by absorbing wave energy and storm surges, adapting to rising sea levels, and stabilizing shorelines from听erosion. EbA focuses on benefits that humans derive from听biodiversity and ecosystem services听and how these benefits can be used for managing risk to climate change impacts.
EbA involves the听conservation,听sustainable management听and听restoration of ecosystems, such as听forests,听grasslands,听wetlands,听mangroves听or听coral reefs听to reduce the harmful impacts of climate hazards including shifting patterns or levels of rainfall, changes in maximum and minimum temperatures, stronger storms, and increasingly variable climatic conditions. EbA measures can be implemented on their own or in combination with engineered approaches (such as the construction of听water reservoirs听or dykes), hybrid measures (such as听artificial reefs) and approaches that听strengthen the capacities听of individuals and institutions to address听climate risks听(such as the introduction of听early warning systems).
