Incorporating Nature-Based Solutions Into Community Climate Adaptation Planning
This synthesis report offers guidance for integrating natural and nature-based features into community adaptation and resilience planning processes, identifying seven "key considerations" to help promote the broader use of nature-based solutions. The report also summarizes approaches for overcoming barriers to adopting nature-based solutions and highlights funding and financing mechanisms that can help communities implement nature-based approaches. This effort represents a collaboration between the National Wildlife Federation and EcoAdapt and is specifically designed to support the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit and its “Steps to Resilience” planning framework.
How Will We Know We're Adapting?: Moving from Faith-based to Tested Adaptation Process and Approach
With our partners at Adaptation Insight, EcoAdapt offers the adaptation community this synthesis report focused on how the field of adaptation can shift from practices built on assumptions to practices built on evidence and deliberation. Doing so will require the systematic collection of information and its use to support analysis and learning about when, where, why, and how to implement adaptation. This paper explores how the field of adaptation would benefit from increased and informed use of indicators, metrics, monitoring, and evaluation at every level.
