EbA Experiences

This page provides an overview over selected EbA measures, ecosystem-based approaches (i.e. Climate Smart Agriculture, Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction), and other established approaches to adaptation (i.e. Community Based Adaptation) in Vietnam. Information is provided on the implementing/executing agencies, project name, topic/sector, and references are added.

As part of the Nairobi work programme on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change, the UNFCCC furthermore published a Synthesis report on Adaptation planning, implementation and evaluation addressing ecosystems and areas such as water resources in 2017. The report provides an overview over good practices and lessons learned within the field of EbA, and introduces more than 50 examples related to these themes. The vulnerability assessment approach of the ISPONRE/GIZ EbA project in Vietnam is also mentioned in this report.
