Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) involves people working with nature to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. Evidence from locally led EbA is essential for designing successful international and national climate, nature and economic policies
NbS: An important aspect of NbS is it should simultaneously improve the biodiversity of a locality and benefit its inhabitants. So, the protection of the Sundarbans, management of Tanguar Haor, the floating agriculture of Barishal, restoring of Dhaka’s Hatirjheel, or practising of agroforestry in greater Mymensingh are examples of nature-based solutions.
Nature-based initiatives, such as planting mangroves and revitalizing wetlands, have proven effective in making communities more resilient to climate change. But international funding has shortchanged such solutions in favor of more costly and less efficient engineering projects.
