Coastal and island countries in Southern Africa are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) can help enhance climate resilience for coastal communities in the region. However, several challenges inhibit the uptake of EbA. This podcast series discusses these challenges as well as the opportunities that marine and coastal EbA poses for countries within the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
The podcast is hosted by the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), funded by the European Union under the Global Climate Change Alliance Plus Programme (GCCA+), overseen by the SADC Secretariat. It forms part of a project that aims to strengthen the uptake of marine and coastal EbA in the national climate responses of SADC’s coastal states.
