Ecosystem-based adaptation

Coastal blue carbon ecosystems, including mangroves, seagrasses and target_idal marshes, are some of the most carbon-rich ecosystems on Earth, and are vital to mitigating the impacts of climate change. They are also critical for coastal biodiversity, food security, livelihoods and human well-being, in addition to climate adaptation – protecting millions of people globally from the impacts of storms, coastal flooding and erosion.

Effective governance is a fundamental requisite for Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA). CLIMA is a practical tool to plan, execute, evaluate, and improve governance in the context of specific initiatives, actions and measures for climate change adaptation and ecosystem management. CLIMA helps generate recommendations for the development and implementation of action plans applied to situations at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
