Overview

Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is a nature-based approach that uses biodiversity and ecosystem services to help people adapt to the adverse effects of climate change.

The EbA Tools Navigator is a searchable database of over 200 tools and methods relevant to EbA accompanied by some examples of tool application, which portray user experiences of various tools from around the world. In addition to containing tools and methods specifically designed for EbA, the Navigator content draws on a variety of relevant disciplines, including wider climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.

Users can search for tools in the database by using the Search page and choosing one or more criteria to help identify particular types of tools and methods. For example, search by ecosystem type, a stage of EbA or a scale of implementation, or combinations of these filters. The tools and methods from the database that meet your selection criteria will then be displayed below.

Audience

The Navigator aims to help EbA practitioners, planners, decision-makers and researchers easily find and understand the tools and methods available to support their work.
