Harnessing ecosystem-based adaptation to drive progress on implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Abstract

This report offers consolidated evidence, guidance, and case studies on ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) from the Friends of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (FEBA) network to support the integration of EbA across national strategies and plans for all three Rio Conventions. It also aims to inform the development of revised national biodiversity and climate commitments. While the primary focus is on the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the report also highlights links to other global frameworks, including the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, emphasizing the need for greater coherence across these frameworks.
