The Global EbA Fund is a fast-start support for innovative approaches to ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA). It improves the understanding, planning and expansion of EbA and access to public funding for catalytic adaptation intervention. It prioritises filling funding and knowledge gaps with a broad thematic focus on innovation and urgency, encouraging creative solutions and partnerships among funding applicants. Through its work, the Fund addresses research gaps, pilots innovative EbA approaches, engages in strategic EbA policy mainstreaming, and incentivises innovative finance mechanisms and private sector EbA investment. To multiply its reach, the Fund will leverage relevant partnerships and networks including Friends of EBA, the Global Adaptation Network and the Global Commission on Adaptation.
