ECOSYSTEM-BASED ADAPTATION : A NATURAL RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) integrates the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services into an overall strategy to help people adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change. It includes the

non-climate risks and provides multiple benefi ts to society and the environment.
