Burundi is one of the poorest countries facing severe climate change related challenges, including a worsening food security situation for its vulnerable rural population.  A combination of extreme floods and droughts...

Liberia currently lacks the capacity to prepare for and respond to climate-related extreme events. This is due to inadequate capacity to process climate data and to plan based on short-term and medium-term weather...

Sudan is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change impacts such as rising temperatures and severe and increasing moisture stress. In the Kordofan States, where the project will be located, 98%...

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is one of the most highly vulnerable Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Pacific.  Climate hazards are projected to severely threaten FSM communities' food security -...

Timor-Leste suffers from high rates of deforestation and forest degradation. This is coupled with increased vulnerability to climate impacts that pose a significant challenge to vulnerable communities' livelihoods....

Climate change means that Uzbekistan is highly vulnerable to floods and mudslides. The most severe damage occurs in eastern flood-prone provinces, particularly Andijan and Ferghana. This project will modernise...

Mexico’s mountain ranges, valleys and coastal plains form a set of 757 watersheds. Increased vulnerability to landslides, floods and droughts have been forecast as a direct result of extreme precipitation in the two...

Pakistan’s growing energy sector is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, which currently provide around 65 per cent of the country’s energy mix. Significant investment in renewable energy is needed to curb emissions, meet...

Guinea-Bissau is a small coastal country in West Africa with high vulnerability to climate change, particularly in the form of seawater intrusion that results from sea level rise, tidal surges, and other adverse weather...

Bangladesh is experiencing an increasing frequency and intensity of drought in its flat and low-lying northwestern region (NWR), an important agricultural hub in the country. More than 60% of the population in the...

Rise in sea level and temperature, extreme rainfall, flooding, and droughts threaten the Solomon Islands’ population who reside on low-lying islands and atolls. The local population remains highly reliant on dwindling...

Côte d’Ivoire, a coastal country in the Gulf of Guinea, is expected to be hit by rising temperatures, longer dry-spells and more intense and irregular precipitation patterns in the near-term future. In the Poro region,...

Coastal and marine environments play a key role for the communities that live in the Micronesian archipelago. The communities rely heavily on the rich biodiversity of the ecosystems that are found along the coasts for...

The Congo-Nile Divide in Rwanda is a biologically rich region with high elevations and natural forests that are crucial to both local wildlife and communities. This area plays a vital role in the broader region’s...

In the Republic of Tanzania’s Kigoma Region, climate data show more frequent and unpredictable periods of heavy rainfall causing an increase of flood events. Dry spells are also expected to increase in frequency and...

In Guinea, Senegal and Togo, agriculture and forestry are the primary sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for over 80 per cent of total emissions. At the same time, these countries are also among those...

In East Africa, climate models predict a continual rise in average temperatures and an increase in the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events. This places significant pressure on the region's farmers, as they...

Rwanda is considered highly vulnerable to climate change in both mitigation and adaption aspects. Faced with multiple climate hazards including more intense rainfall, shifting seasonal temperatures, droughts, and...

Despite being among the lowest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), countries in sub-Saharan Africa have already experienced widespread loss and damage due to climate change. These impacts range from...

In the past two decades, there has been an 83 per cent global increase in the frequency of major climate-related disasters, such as floods, droughts, heatwaves, and violent maritime weather. Low- and middle-income...

Barbados currently relies on imported fossil fuels for around 95 per cent of its power generation. This dependence not only makes the country vulnerable to oil price fluctuations, but also contributes to nearly one-...
