Forests and Trees for Social Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change

SHARE THIS PAGE:

This article assesses the scientific literature related to ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA) with forests and trees, and highlights five cases in which these can support adaptation. The article argues for a need to better understand the efficiency, costs, and benefits, and trade-offs of EBA with forests and trees, indicating that ongoing pilot projects could serve as learning sites, and that existing information could be systematized and revisited with a climate change adaptation lens.
