Tool for Ecosystem-Based Adaptation in the Pacific

We developed the Tool for Ecosystem-based Adaptation in the Pacific (TEbAP), a web-based decision-support tool that helps planners identify tailored EbA interventions by analysing climate impacts, ecosystems, and sectors, while providing regional case studies and open-access resources to support adaptation planning across the Pacific.

The Tool for Ecosystem-based Adaptation in the Pacific (TEbAP) is a web-based platform developed to support climate adaptation planning across Pacific Island nations by helping users identify effective Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) options tailored to specific sectors, ecosystems, and climate impacts.

Our team led the design and delivery of the tool, working from inception through to production, including stakeholder consultation, tool architecture, content development, and technical implementation using Drupal CMS. Our team developed the methodology, reviewed existing EbA resources, designed the user interface, and facilitated engagement with a User Advisory Group to ensure relevance and usability. The final product features a searchable database of EbA options—ranging from mangrove reforestation to coral reef restoration and water-sensitive urban design—supported by Pacific-specific case studies and a curated repository of open-access resources. TEbAP enables users to explore the connections between ecosystems, climate impacts, and community needs, offering a practical, regionally informed tool to strengthen climate resilience and natural resource management across the Pacific.
