Ecosystem-based approaches to adaptation: strengthening the evidence and informing policy

Research results from the Supporting
Counties in Kenya to Mainstream Climate
Change in Development and Access
Climate Finance project, Kenya

Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and promote sustainable development. This report presents the results of using our Framework for Assessing EbA Effectiveness at the Supporting Counties in Kenya to Mainstream Climate Change in Development and Access Climate Finance project, Kenya. The findings will be combined with those from 12 other sites in 11 other countries to help show climate change policymakers when and why EbA is effective.
