Assessing the implementation process of Ecosystem-based Adaptation in coastal urban areas

SCORE project partner from ENT have presented a paper at the EGU Assembly 2025. It is available in open access.

Abstract

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are regarded as an umbrella concept for actions focused on nature conservation and restoration, offering a range of social, economic, and environmental benefits.
When specifically dealing with climate change adaptation, the term Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is also applicable. This research investigates EbA as a strategy to tackle the escalating climate challenges faced by coastal urban areas, including changing water regimes, and more frequent and severe floods and droughts. The study develops a decision-support framework aimed at guiding local governments in successfully implementing EbA. It highlights the importance of proposing protocols to evaluate the EbA implementation process in coastal urban areas. This framework is based on three core areas: governance systems, policy framework, and sustainable funding, with a set of indicators proposed for each area.
