Synopsis

Build climate resilience with nature-based solutions.

As the impacts of climate change accelerate, Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) emerges as a powerful strategy to safeguard ecosystems, protect communities, and promote sustainable development. This timely and authoritative book explores how natural systems—forests, soils, wetlands, and coastal ecosystems—can be restored and managed to reduce climate risks and support biodiversity.

Written for professionals, students, and decision-makers in the fields of environmental science, climate policy, and sustainable development, this book provides practical frameworks for implementing EbA at local, national, and global levels.

Inside this book:

• Clear definition of Ecosystem-based Adaptation and its relevance to climate adaptation and mitigation
• Detailed analysis of EbA strategies across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems
• Exploration of biodiversity, soil health, and sustainable farming in enhancing adaptive capacity
• Guidance on policy integration, financing mechanisms, and community-based approaches
• Alignment with global frameworks including the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement

Why this book matters:

• Provides an integrated, science-based approach to nature-based climate adaptation
• Delivers actionable strategies for practitioners, researchers, and policy professionals
