ecosystems-based adaptation

Ecosystems-based adaptation (EbA) uses healthy ecosystems—like forests, wetlands, and mangroves—to help communities adapt to climate change. These natural systems provide benefits such as protecting coastlines from storms, improving water supply quality, and reducing flood risks. By preserving and restoring these ecosystems, communities can boost their resilience without relying solely on engineering solutions. EbA is an eco-friendly, cost-effective approach that works with nature to manage climate-related challenges, ensuring both environmental health and human well-being are sustained over time.
