Adaptation to change

This document presents the findings of a comprehensive needs assessment conducted by the IUCN SSC CEC Behaviour Change Task Force. It is designed to provide a structured understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and actionable recommendations for integrating behavioural sciences into conservation strategies. The report aims to serve as both a diagnostic tool and a roadmap for advancing the application of behavioural sciences in conservation efforts.

The threat of climate displacement looms large over a growing number of countries. Based on the more than six years of work by Displacement Solutions in ten climate-affected countries, academic work on displacement and climate adaptation, and the country-level efforts of civil society groups in several frontline countries, this report explores the key contention that land will be at the core of any major strategy aimed at preventing and resolving climate displacement.

Les solutions fondées sur la nature (SfN) sont des actions entreprises pour protéger, gérerdurablement et restaurer les écosystèmesnaturels et modifiés qui bénéficientsimultanément aux personnes et à la nature. Les SfN sont essentielles pour relever desdéfis tels que les changements climatiques, lasécurité alimentaire, la sécurité hydrique, lesrisques de catastrophes, la santé humaine et ledéveloppement social et économique.

Las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza (SbN) son actividades emprendidas para proteger, gestionar de manera sostenible y restaurar los ecosistemas naturales y modificados en beneficio simultáneo de las personas y la naturaleza. Las SbN son fundamentales para abordar desafíos como el cambio climático, la seguridad alimentaria e hídrica, el riesgo de desastres, la salud humana y el desarrollo social y económico.

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are activities undertaken to protect, sustainably manage and restore natural and modified ecosystems to simultaneously benefit people and nature. NbS are critical to addressing challenges like climate change, food security, water security, disaster risk, human health, and social and economic development.

Along with defining the measures needed to achieve ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), solid governance components are imperative to make it effective. Such governance must be flexible, participatory, multarget_idimensional and include ecosystem-based approaches (maintain ecosystem structure and function to guarantee human well-being).
