Hybrid Actions

Hybrid actions are adaptation interventions which combine engineered, nature-based and/or indirect actions. Key examples that combine engineered and nature-based actions include integrated coastal zone management and climate smart agriculture (e.g. local irrigation schemes, drought tolerant or resilient seed varieties). Resilient water infrastructure, meanwhile, combines engineered and indirect measures (e.g. dams, irrigation schemes, upgraded embankments, etc). Scroll down to explore the types of hybrid measures included in the NDCs and how their inclusion varies by region and vulnerability to climate change.

HYBRID APPROACHES WERE PARTICULARLY PREVALENT IN LOWER INCOME NATIONS

98% of NDCs which address adaptation from low income nations included at least one type of hybrid action, as did 93% of those from lower-middle income countries. Explore the map below to see how different hybrid approaches appear in the NDCs of the world's nations.

HYBRID ACTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN 88% OF NDCS WITH ADAPTATION PLANS

Hybrid adaptation actions were included in most nations across the globe. Resilient water infrastructure and management and climate-smart agriculture are particularly popular, appearing in 64% of all NDCs with adaptation components.
