The webinar will provide the necessary background on ecosystem-based technologies and practices and then look at a number of case studies from around the world. This will be followed by a brief discussion on the co-benefits of EbA and barriers to its implementation.

Presenters from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR, South Africa) will discuss the issue of climate change impacts on ecosystems and their associated services, how to assess ecosystem-vulnerability, and the role of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) technologies and practices for sustainable livelihoods.
