Governance for ecosystem-based adaptation

The Environmental Law Centre and the IUCN Regional Office for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean are pleased to announce the release of the publication "Governance for ecosystem-based adaptation". This publication is the result of more than a decade of work in Mesoamerica on ecosystem-based adaptation and intends to provide recommendations based on real case experiences to improve the design and implementation of governance arrangements for EbA.

The publication, which builds upon Mesoamerican experiences, provides concrete ideas for scaling up action not only there, but also in other geographies with similar environmental, social and economic conditions.

The book results from the experiences of the project Transforming Evidence into Change: A Holistic Approach to Governance for EbA (GO4EbA) funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), and was implemented in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama.

Its original Spanish version was launched at UNFCCC PreCOP25 in San José, Costa Rica in October 2019.
