• Key stakeholder groups in this region are generally aware of the potential of ecosystem services to reduce the impacts of climate change on people, which is often called ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA).
• Practical information on the potential and limitations of EBA is not readily available to planners and practitioners.
• An online survey confirmed the need for regional case studies and how-to guidance delivered online.
• A decision-support tool would enable stakeholders to better identify the opportunities, risks, and cost-effectiveness of EBA strategies in different contexts.
