Climate change, ecosystem services and migration in the Marshall Islands
The Marshall Islands experience severe climate impacts and high emigration rates. However, we do not know to what extent people migrate because of climate change. This paper addresses this gap.
Specialist Session: Experience the Environment
An ecosystem simulation game and a scavenger hunt to explain ecosystem services ending with a game to emphasise the role a well-managed environment plays in climate change adaptation.
Enhancing Climate Change Resilience of Rural Communities Living in Protected Areas of Cambodia
This project is building climate adaptation near five community protected forests across Cambodia.
Djibouti - Ecosystem-based Adaptation
This project piloted approaches for rehabilitating degraded watersheds and wadi shores to reduce seawater intrusion and floods in Djibouti.
The EcoAdapt Project
The EcoAdapt project assisted South American communities in developing their ecosystem-based adaptation strategies.
The Buffelsdraai Community Reforestation Project
This project aims to address the environmental risks associated with landfill by increasing urban biodiversity and maintaining natural buffer zones to foster climate change adaptation.
Restoration of the former Saltworks
Adaptive restoration of former saltworks can help wetlands recover their functionality and resilience to adapt to sea-level rise, while improving the biodiversity habitat.
