Ecosystem-based Adaptation - Stakeholder Dialogue Report
2023Ecosystem-based adaptation is an approach that uses biodiversity and ecosystem services to help communities adapt to the impacts of climate change. For example, protecting coastal habitats like mangroves provides natural flood defences; reforestation can hold back desertification and recharge groundwater supplies in times of drought; and water bodies ...

Evaluation of an Ecosystem-Based Architecture for Adaptation to Cascades of Changes
2013 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 2013This paper presents an experimental evaluation of an ecosystem-based architecture in the context of production management. The architecture follows ecosystem principles borrowed from nature where unexpected events trigger cascades of changes. Such changes then motivates the whole ecosystem to adapt to the new circumstances and reach a homoeostasis ...

Cascades of green: A review of ecosystem-based adaptation in urban areas
Global Environmental Change, 2016Abstract Climate change impacts increase pressure on challenges to sustainability and the developmental needs of cities. Conventional, “hard” adaptation measures are often associated with high costs, inflexibility and conflicting interests related to the dense urban fabric, and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) has emerged as a potentially cost ...

Blue Carbon Ecosystems and Ecosystem-Based Adaptation
2021Blue carbon ecosystems are being lost at a fast rate due to various trends. When these ecosystems degrade, they contribute to climate change by releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere. Furthermore, coastal ecosystems are being degraded or lost, resulting in damage to infrastructure and property from climatic extremes.

Coastal Ecosystem Based Adaptation: Bangladesh Experience
2013Bangladesh is confronting multitude threats of climate change related extreme events. The decadal observation provides strong evidences of climate changes in terms of excessive or minimum rainfall events, changing frequency and intensity of floods, cyclone and tidal surge, and sea level rise have been gradually increasing fast and slow impacts.

Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA) as an Adaptation Strategy in Burkina Faso and Mali
2017This study analyzed the dimensions of Ecosystem Services (ES) in the adaptation projects. We examined the Ecosystem Based Adaptation (EbA) concept based on thirty one sample projects from Burkina Faso and Mali. Results showed that 49% of the adaptation projects were within the agricultural sector, with generally low budgetary consideration and medium ...
