EbA E-Learning Course

This free, self-paced online course on Ecosystem-based Adaptation was officially launched in 2022 and is available in English, French and Spanish. Building on more than a decade of research, experience, and partnerships in implementing EbA, the course equips learners with transferable skills in designing and implementing EbA initiatives. It also works to increase EbA knowledge outside of the environmental conservation community and help participants integrate EbA into other sectors, including water, agriculture, and urban environments.
