The document assesses Mozambique's coastal ecosystems—specifically mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass beds—and their role in ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) against climate threats. It identifies significant vulnerabilities to cyclones, sea-level rise, and temperature increases, while highlighting institutional gaps in technical capacity and inter-sectoral coordination. The report evaluates the role of state actors, NGOs, and local communities, and recommends integrating EbA more deeply into national development strategies and exploring innovative financing like biodiversity offsets.

The Seychelles is implementing ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) to combat climate threats such as sea-level rise and coral bleaching, focusing on coral reefs, mangroves, and wetlands. While the country has a strong policy framework and various donor-funded projects, it faces challenges in human capacity, data collection for monitoring, and the need to translate policies into formal legislation, such as a proposed Climate Change Act.

The report identifies Botswana's high climate vulnerability, particularly regarding water scarcity, and highlights a critical gap in national priority and policy framework to address these threats.
