Using the ecosystem services (ES) approach as the bridge between sustainable development and ecosystem-based adaptations (EbA), our Brazilian member, Maíra Padgurschi, started a post-doctoral at the AmazonFACE Program. In task 5, the program aims to propose feasible and effective alternatives of adaptation to the impacts of climate change. In that context, Padgurschi’s study will investigate the EbA alternatives that could maintain a set of ES essential to sustainable development goals in a climate change scenario at the Amazon forest. The best EbAs identified will be modeled using a land-use model to provide alternatives for decision-makers to cope with climate adversities in the forest.
