Role of tropical wetlands for adaptation and mitigation
Tropical wetland ecosystems such as peatlandsand mangroves play an important role in mitigating, and adapting to climate change.
An Introduction to Forests and Adaptation
Adaptation measures are needed to reduce negative impacts on forests and maintain ecosystem, which also reduce vulnerability of people through providing ecosystem services.
Draft Principles and Guidelines for Integrating Ecosystem-Based Approaches to Adaptation in Project and Policy Design
Ecosystem-based approaches to reduce social vulnerability are a promising option for sustainable and efficient adaptation to climate change. Ecosystem based Adaptation (EbA) is part of overall adaptation, and takes into account multiple social, economic and cultural co-benefits for local communities. EbA encompasses adaptation policies and measures that take into account the role of ecosystem services in reducing societal vulnerability, through multi-sectoral and multi-level approaches.
Mountain Women – Key Drivers of Change
This article focuses on understanding the functioning of mountain ecosystems in the context of livelihoods and women.
Whole Decision Network Analysis for Coastal Ecosystems (WD-NACE)
This project looks at the relationship between governance, power and knowledge structures and how these influence behaviour, actions and decision taking for sustainable social-ecological ecosystems.
