This synthesis report provides an overview of the project and its activities, including the Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) studies, which were the foundation for the development of ecosystembased adaptation (EbA) options in the three countries. It outlines the selected EbA demonstration initiatives and highlights the successes and lessons learnt in implementing these options at provincial, island and local/village level. Synthesis reports outlining the findings of the Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) studies are available separately.
