With increases in greenhouse gases (GHG) and air pollution from rapidly growing urban transport systems, countries are driven to adopt and promote sustainable urban mobility models to address issues of traffic...

The puna ecosystems (peatlands, wetlands, grasslands) in the Southern High Andes of Peru are negatively impacted by climate change and unsustainable management practices. These ecosystems provide essential services such...

Madagascar is recognised as one of the most vulnerable countries worldwide to the repercussions of climate change.  Between 2018 and 2022, Southern Madagascar experienced a prolonged drought as rainfall became scarcer...

Cambodia is particularly vulnerable to climate change with high exposure to climate hazards such as floods, landslide, cyclone, extreme heat and wildfire. These are exacerbated by the country’s economic dependence on...

In Latin America and the Caribbean, the vulnerability of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), smallholder farmers, women, and poor households in general is linked to their economic dependence on activities...

The Accelerating Solar Action Programme (ASAP) supports Ghana’s much-needed transition away from fossil fuels, in line with the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) priorities. Current mitigation efforts...

Jordan faces extreme water scarcity, exacerbated by its arid climate and high temperatures, which often exceed 40°C in the summer. With only 125 cubic meters per capita per year of available water, Jordan is the fifth...

Tajikistan is highly vulnerable to climate change, facing rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns posing serious threats to agriculture and livestock. Predicted decreases in crop yields, particularly for...

Ecuador’s coastal regions are experiencing unprecedented challenges due to climate change, including rising sea levels, extreme El Niño events, increased precipitation variability, and hotter temperatures. These...

The Balsas Basin in Mexico is one of the country's most marginalised areas, making it highly vulnerable to climate change. Increasingly erratic rainfall and extended dry seasons are reducing agricultural productivity...

Throughout Latin America, the transport sector is the largest and fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions, driven by a car-centric urban development and a lack of electric and public transit alternatives....

Climate change is intensifying Malawi’s challenges in agricultural productivity and food security. Extreme weather events, soil erosion, and watershed degradation exacerbate droughts and floods, further compromising...

Many of the countries in Southeast Asia are among the most vulnerable to climate change. And yet, some of the countries in the region also have the most carbon-intensive growth. To achieve low emission, climate-...

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are a major contributor to GDP and employment in India. The MSME sector is also a significant emitter of greenhouse gases and at the same time faces high vulnerability to...

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean are highly vulnerable to climate change, which affects crucial economic sectors such as tourism, agriculture, and fishing. Rising sea levels and changing weather...

Ethiopia’s drought-prone regions, particularly the Kobo-Girana Valley and the Borena Zone, face mounting challenges due to climate change. Increasing temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and prolonged droughts...

Malawi is among the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world, exposed to increasing temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events. These result in a range of health-related impacts,...

As Rwanda urbanises rapidly, it is facing significant climate variability, which is leading to increased heat and more erratic and heavy precipitation. The resulting floods and landslides in informal peri-urban...

Somalia is one of the most fragile countries in the world. It faces significant challenges regarding security, inequality, displacement, conflicts over natural resources and economic development, all of which are...

Indonesia’s West Kalimantan Province faces critical climate hazards such as deforestation, forest degradation, rising temperatures, floods, and droughts. These hazards particularly affect the province’s peatland...

Iraq faces critical climate hazards such as rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and reduced water availability from the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. These challenges are compounded by poor water management and soil...

Barbados is among the world's most water-scarce countries, with water abstraction levels exceeding 100 per cent of sustainable aquifer supply during periods of below-average rainfall. Agriculture, a major water consumer...

Mobilising private sector climate finance is an urgent priority to enable vulnerable countries to move towards a climate-resilient future rapidly. This programme aims to achieve a systemic transformation of the...

The global climate crisis is interconnected with water, leading to greater variability in the water cycle, diminished resources, and rising CO2 emissions from inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure. There is an...

Kenya is highly vulnerable to climate change and increased climate variability, primarily due to agriculture's central role in the economy. The Lake Victoria Region, comprising 14 counties and collectively known as the...

Mali ranks 11th most vulnerable and 23rd least prepared for climate adaptation among 192 countries (ND-GAIN index). Droughts affect 400,000 people, while floods impact 500,000 across the country yearly. Reliance on...

Sub-Saharan Africa faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges for agricultural transformation, driven by the demands of a rapidly growing population and a changing climate. The effects of climate change are...

Worldwide, vulnerable communities face increasing risks due to the growing intensity, geographic extent and frequency of climate-related hazards, exacerbated by rising temperatures associated with climate change....
