A key factor for the success of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) initiatives is the active integration of gender considerations. By working to address gender and social inequalities, EbA initiatives can be more effective and more sustainable.
Toward Gender-Responsive Ecosystem-Based Adaptation: Why It's Needed and How to Get There provides an understanding of the importance of using a gender-responsive approach to EbA. This report describes key building blocks for effective and gender-just EbA, and includes on-the-ground examples of them being put into practice. The guidance and recommendations provided by this report can help EbA practitioners and adaptation policy-makers, whether in governments, research institutions, businesses, or civil society.
