It provides further evidence that ecosystem-based approaches make economic sense, and showcases how research has progressively filled knowledge gaps about translating this concept into practice. It presents a number of methods, and tools that illustrate how Eco-DRR/CCA has been applied for various ecosystems and hazard contexts around the world. It also discusses how innovative institutional arrangements and policies are shaping the field of Eco-DRR/CCA. The book is of relevance to scientists, practitioners, policy-makers and students in the field of ecosystem management for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptationSummary: Foreword -- Introduction: practical and policy uptake of Eco-DRR globally: Where do we stand? -- ecosystems as climate-compatible development infrastructure: making the case for ecosystem-based investments in coastal zones of Kenya & Sri Lanka -- The adaptive economy of Eco-DRR: a South Pacific example of climate change adaptationPPN: PPN: 1658661567Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEE
