Stories and Solutions

Special projects

Illustrating Adaptation to Climate Change GRID-Arendal provided support to the Global Mountain Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Programme of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) by developing visual illustrations that help make the case why nature- based solutions should be a vital part of a broader climate adaptation strategy in the face of climate change. These illustrations were used in a series of learning briefs about ecosystem-based adaptation and in the report Making the Case for Ecosystem-based Adaptation: The Global EbA Programme in Nepal, Peru and Uganda jointly published by UNDP. “GRID-Arendal has done an outstanding job in translating all our guidance into stunning visual descriptions of the very complex dynamics between threats, impacts, EbA measures and benefits generated in our three pilot countries [Peru, Uganda and Nepal].”
