RT null T1 Urban Ecosystem-based Adaptation - Briefing Note T2 L’adaptation fondée sur les écosystèmes dans les zones urbaines : reverdir les villes pour lutter contre les changements climatiques - Note de synthèse T2 Adaptación basada en los ecosistemas urbanos: reverdecimiento de las ciudades para luchar contra el cambio climático - Nota informativa T2 Adaptação urbana baseada em ecossistemas: tornar as cidades mais verdes para combater as mudanças climáticas - Nota informativa 8 A1 United Nations Environment Programme, K1 ecosystem YR 2022 FD 2022-07 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/40404 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/40404 NO This document explains how ecosystem-based adaptation uses natural ecosystems and their services to help cities and peri-urban areas adapt to the impacts of climate change. It outlines the growing importance of this approach as urban populations continue to expand and cities face increasing risks from heat, drought and flooding, alongside ageing infrastructure. The document highlights ecosystem-based adaptation as an opportunity to integrate climate resilience into urban development by creating greener, more liveable and healthier urban environments while addressing long-term environmental and infrastructure challenges.
