This report explores the economic impact of climate change in Zambia through the assessment of six sectors, agriculture & food security, natural resources, water, energy, health, and infrastructure. The analysis is conducted via scenario planning. 

The value and role of mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrasses for climate change mitigation was established back in 2009 by reports by IUCN and UNEP to focus attention on addressing a critical gap in national carbon accounting and management.

This paper is a summary of a longer and fully referenced document by the same authors. It is an updated version of the draft guidelines developed by this group at a workshop and meeting held in Costa Rica in June 2011 to initiate a more formal and iterative process for Ecosystem Based Adaptation Guidelines which can be discussed at various international and regional events.
