• The impacts of climate change devastate the intricate balance of our ecosystems, creating volatile environments.
• Maintaining balance in our ecosystems is a critical part of the global solution to climate change.
• Ecosystem-based adaptation restores and protects the health of ecosystems to ensure long-term sustainability for people and the planet, and this must be integrated into a country’s National Adaptation Plan.
• Ecosystem-based adaptation is a central principle to the National Adaptation Plans of Fiji and Timor-Leste, with an aim to protect, maintain and restore nature.
• Their National Adaptation Plans involve collaboration among multiple levels of government and across different sectors.
• National Adaptation Plans also engage local communities and use Indigenous knowledge.
