EbA session at the ICLEI congress
Ecosystem based adaptation (EBA) is relatively new, especially for cities, and is rising to the fore of adaptation work. EBA considers existing features of urban ecosystems like trees, green and blue spaces, mangroves, and peri-urban agriculture.
It reduces vulnerability while maintaining secondary ecosystem services and can span city boundaries. The benefits and services of biodiversity and ecosystems have great potential to support sustainable economic growth and the needs of urban residents.
