Description of Intervention
• Development of methodologies and tools for mountain ecosystems;
• Application of the above tools and methodologies at the national level;
• Implementation of EBA pilots at the ecosystem level; and
• Formulation of national policies and building an economic case for EBA at the national level.
Problems to be Addressed
Vulnerability of mountain ecosystems to climate change impacts
Aims
To look at the impacts of climate change on the integrity and functioning of mountain ecosystems in three countries
Objectives
To strengthen ecosystem resilience for promoting ecosystem based adaptation (EBA) options and to reduce the vulnerability of communities, with particular emphasis on mountain ecosystems
How it fits into the EbA concept
Since the project takes into consideration, vulnerability of mountain ecosystem to climate change impacts and aims at implementing projects to decrease this vulnerability, it fits into the EBA concept.
