Climate Justice in Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Collection

The GIZ Global Project ‘Mainstreaming EbA - strengthening ecosystem-based adaptation in planning and decision-making processes' launched a collection of publications exploring climate justice aspects in EbA. FAKT Consult supported the Global Project on the topic of climate justice in EbA through identifying the gaps between theory and practice and developing tools and methodologies to contribute towards bridging these gaps.

The Global Project supports actors at international, national and local level to incorporate Ecosystem-based Adaptation into policy and planning processes of different sectors. You can learn more about the project and FAKT’s contribution here
