Ecosystem-Based Adaptation and Indigenous Solutions for Climate Change in Kenya and Africa

Abstract

This blog series explores the critical role of Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA) and Indigenous Knowledge Systems in addressing climate change across Kenya and Africa. Through four insightful blogs, we delve into EbA principles, highlight the deep-rooted wisdom of Indigenous communities in shaping sustainable adaptation strategies, and examine the synergy between EbA and biodiversity conservation. The series also showcases community-led initiatives, emphasizing the power of local engagement in fostering climate resilience. By weaving together scientific approaches and traditional ecological knowledge, this series aims to inform, inspire, and advocate for nature-based solutions tailored to Africa’s unique environmental and socio-cultural landscape.
