4. Lessons learned
Many low-cost EbA techniques/approaches exist
Often „green-grey“ options rather than „textbook EbA“
Low-cost and no-regret character of many EbA measures is a success
factor for EbA, but more ambitious, if conducive policy frameworks
exist
EbA measures can work well, but are not necessarily being
prioritized by politicians
Until recently, little knowledge on EbA (approaches, cost-benefit ratio
etc.) was available, this has improved considerably but is still quite
heterogenous

4. Role of IKI in promoting EbA
Continue generating systematic knowledge and exchange
- Across regions and ecosystems e.g.: in Asia, Latin Ameria, Africa
in mountains, forests, mangroves…
- With key actors and partners e.g.: IUCN, UNEP, UNDP, CI, TNC, GIZ,
SPREP, FEBA etc.
- Adressing open questions, identifying gaps and synthesiszing &
bundling existing knowledge: e.g. with recent global projects by IIED &
GIZ
Demonstration of solutions and input for negotiations
Mainstreaming EbA in institutions and policy processes
13
4. Opportunities for EbA in the UNFCCC context
NAPs as entry points for EbA – using experiences from the ground to
inform national adaptation planning
Role of ecosystems acknowledged in different work programmes
(e.g. Work Programme of the Warsaw Mechanism for Loss and
Damage, Nairobi Work Programme) – has to be filled with substance
Adaptation will be a strong pillar in the Paris agreement – EbA could
benefit from this
