Local resilience was increased by integrating the Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) approach in priority municipalities in Mexico and Brazil.
To achieve this, global agendas of climate change, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development and disaster risk reduction were coordinated.
In Mexico and Brazil, 1,205,098 citizens have benefited.
Seven municipalities: Armería, Tláhuac and Xochimilco in Mexico; and Porto Seguro, Santa Cruz Cabralia, Cielo Azul and Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil.
In Mexico City, the regions have wetlands and areas adjacent to rivers that facilitate climate change mitigation in urban areas, in addition to serving as refuges for wildlife birds. In Brazil, the areas connect 4 conservation units, in the Mata Atlantica biome, which are connected through watersheds, by means of ecological corridors.
Brazil and Mexico shared methodologies and approaches in order to strengthen the adaptation component in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) and highlight the EbA approach at the local level.
