This project recognises Indonesia's REDD+ results for 2014-2016, with a total volume of 27 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2eq) submitted to GCF for results-based payments (RBP). Indonesia will use the...

While water resources for ecosystems are becoming scarcer, the increase of extreme climate-related events such as landslides and floods threaten the livelihoods of people in Nepal’s Gandaki River Basin region, currently...

Up to 90 percent of rural households in Georgia rely on fuelwood for their energy needs, most importantly heating during the country’s cold winters. This leads to forest degradation and a reduction of carbon absorption...

Since 1995, Antigua and Barbuda have experienced 15 hurricanes and 14 tropical storms. Set to be exacerbated by climate change, such events can lead to significant disruption of the country's power and water supplies,...

This project recognises Colombia's REDD+ results for 2015-2016 where a total volume of 6.95 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂eq) was presented to the GCF for results-based payments (RBP). The presented...

Small island developing states (SIDS) are extremely vulnerable to climate change, which poses severe threats to livelihoods, infrastructure, and marine and terrestrial ecosystems. This programme targets the most...

Land degradation in Ethiopia has proceeded at an alarming rate and will be increasingly aggravated by climate change. Conservative estimates suggest climate change will reduce agricultural crop productivity in Ethiopia...

The forest ecosystem of Ghana’s northern savanna zone is characterized by nearly 400 million shea and other trees growing naturally as part of traditional farming. Climate change, transitioning to more modern ...

While almost all of Senegal’s urban areas have access to electricity, about 58 percent of people in rural areas do not. For basic energy needs, these households mainly rely on fuelwood for cooking, and kerosene lamps...

Sudan is one of the most drought susceptible countries in Africa. Drylands are home to nearly 70 percent of the country’s population. Increasingly erratic rainfall has resulted in recurrent droughts, together with crop...

The impacts of a drastically warming planet are already being felt in Mongolia, where average temperatures have increased by 2.1 °C over the past 70 years. The country’s vast pastureland and livestock production are ...
