Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA)

Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) is a strategy that uses nature to help communities cope with the impacts of climate change. It involves protecting and restoring ecosystems—like forests, wetlands, and coral reefs—so they can provide valuable services, such as flood protection, clean water, and sustainable agriculture. By promoting healthy ecosystems, EbA not only helps people adapt to changing conditions but also preserves biodiversity and enhances the resilience of both communities and the environment. In essence, it's about working with nature rather than against it to ensure a sustainable future.
