Ecosystem-based adaptation in cities

2021
Extreme weather events like heavy rainfall and heat waves will likely increase in intensity and frequency due to climate change. As the impacts of these extremes are particularly prominent in urban agglomerations, cities face an urgent need to develop adaptation strategies.

Conceptualization and implementation of ecosystems-based adaptation

Climatic Change, 2017
While ecosystems-based adaptation (EbA) has been received with great interest, the requirements for EbA implementation and its precise benefits under future climate change are unclear. Furthermore, EbA’s overlap with environmental, and development policy agendas leads to ambiguity regarding what actions fall under the rubric of EbA.

On the development of urban adaptation strategies using ecosystem-based approaches to adaptation

2015 Smart Cities Symposium Prague (SCSP), 2015
Selected aspects of currently running project UrbanAdapt are described. The project deals with the adaptation of cities on changing climatic conditions. The main project objective is to start the process of preparation of cities adaptation strategies, developing adaptation scenarios and testing the effects and benefits of particular measures ...

Evaluation of an Ecosystem-Based Architecture for Adaptation to Cascades of Changes

2013 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 2013
This 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 ...

Ecosystem-based Adaptation - Stakeholder Dialogue Report

2023
Ecosystem-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 ...

Blue Carbon Ecosystems and Ecosystem-Based Adaptation

2021
Blue 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.

iTaukei Ways of Knowing and Managing Mangroves for Ecosystem-Based Adaptation

2020
Global concerns for Pacific Island Countries under a new climate regime and increasing development challenges has prompted many external agencies to intervene with climate change adaptation programs. Despite extensive funding and efforts, many external interventions tend to overlook the importance of Indigenous and local knowledge, and working in ...
