CityAdapt: Ecosystem-based Adaptation in Bhutan, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar [Factsheet]

The factsheet gives an overview of an Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) project which is implemented by UNEP, Building Climate Resilience of Urban Systems through Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA) In the Asia-Pacific Region ‘Urban EbA Asia’. This project is building the climate resilience of poor communities in 5 cities using ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) – a strategy of protecting or restoring ecosystems to reduce the negative impacts of climate change. The project’s main approaches are: demonstrating the efficacy of urban EbA through ecosystem restoration; strengthening the capacity of city authorities to implement urban EbA; and building the knowledge base and awareness of urban EbA.
