This book is one of the main contributions of the Commission on Ecosystem Management (CEM) of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to the international discussions on how we should address climate change impacts on natural and human systems, including ecosystems and the services they provide to society and communities. This book intends to contribute to gaps, specifically by compiling a set of current operational case studies from around the globe and by highlighting some practical adaptation planning processes that may advance the development of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), and conservation adaptation strategies. Here, eleven case studies from different parts of the world covering a variety of ecosystems are presented and discussed. Between them, the case studies cover a range of adaptation interventions, some focused on adaptation for conservation purposes, and some focused on supporting people to adapt to climate change, through Ecosystem-based Adaptation. Many of the case studies have both elements, in recognition of the fact that in order to continue to provide services to enable people to adapt to climate change, ecosystems themselves also will need to adapt. This publication intends to summarize some current applications of the EbA concept and its tools used around the world, and also draw lessons from experiences in conservation adaptation. It is expected that the experiences presented in this book will help address the current challenges in climate change adaptation and stimulate future research to advance adaptation for both people and ecosystems globally.
