Ecosystem Based Adaptation
|
The impacts of climate change on human and natural systems are already being felt on a global scale and are predicted to intensify in the future. Increased climate variability such as occurrence of more frequent droughts, storms and more erratic or intense rainfall patterns are associated with such changes that can significantly affect the natural ecosystems and their capacities thus disrupting the ecosystem services and the communities that depend on it. A healthy ecosystem and its services provide opportunities for sustainable economic prosperity and protection against the negative effects of climate change. On the other hand, degradation of such ecosystem results in increased climate change vulnerability of communities as well as the ecosystem itself. Therefore, the concept of Ecosystem based Adaptation (EbA) has emerged to aid vulnerable communities to adapt with climate change along with continuation of ecosystem services through restoration and sustenance of ecosystems.
