Ecosystem-based Adaptation, an integral component of a sustainable groundwater management

Ecosystem-based Adaptation, an integral component of a sustainable groundwater management

The implementation of ecosystem-based adaptation measures can be based on either a certain ecosystem service, on part of an ecosystem or on several ecosystems. In many cases, ecosystem-based adaptation cannot replace the need for built infrastructure, but instead could provide a critical complement, multiplying the benefits received from healthy, functioning ecosystems. 

The use of ecosystem-based adaptation services is part of a broader climate change adaptation strategy. This poster was created for the Adaptation Futures conference 2016 in Rotterdam.
