The Ecosystem Based Adaptation (EbA) in Mountain Ecosystems in Nepal, Peru and Uganda aims to strengthen the capacity of these countries, which are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, through ecosystem based adaptation approaches. The project aims at strengthening the resiliency of ecosystems within these countries and reduces the vulnerability of local communities with particular emphasis on mountain ecosystems. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) through its International Climate Initiative and is jointly implemented by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The project consists of activities at different levels i.e. national, regional and local levels and of different types including assessment, capacity building and knowledge on EBA. The project is designed on the premise that the social/human adaptation is best achieved by ensuring the continued provision of ecosystem services and enhancing human capacities to address current challenges and future uncertainties.
