Coastal and island countries in Southern Africa are particularly vulnerable to the impacts ofclimate change. Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) can help enhance climate resilience forcoastal 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 andcoastal EbA poses for countries within the Southern African Development Community(SADC).This podcast series 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.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
