Benin is one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to climate change with low levels of readiness and adaptive capacity. Climate change has already been felt in the country in recent decades, with increases in...

Rising sea level is expected to lead to a range of challenges for the 10 per cent of Freetown’s population that reside in high-risk climate areas. Shoreline recession, rising water tables, and waterborne diseases are...

The Cook Islands face a triple health challenge due to climate change: communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and other health impacts of climate change, which can result in high rates of sickness and...

Belize is highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly due to its low-lying islands facing challenges such as storms, hurricanes, droughts, floods, and the threat of sea-level rise. The agriculture sector,...

Sierra Leone is highly vulnerable to climate and disaster risks, which can result in crop losses, reduced fish stocks, and food insecurity. The intrusion of saline water in coastal areas forces farming further inland,...

India, with one-sixth of the world's population, sees 17 out of every 20 people vulnerable to climate risks, with five living in areas extremely vulnerable to climate change. The country's dependence on rain-fed...

The Kingdom of Bhutan is highly vulnerable to climate-induced water scarcity, glacial lake outburst floods, landslides, windstorms, and forest fires. These hazards affect farmers, damage roads, homes, and critical...

In the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan, observations indicate an increase in pre-monsoon rainfall, reflecting shifting and increasingly variable rainfall patterns. The 2022 flooding event was one of the most...

The Province of Thua Thien Hue in Vietnam faces significant exposure to climate change, including storms, floods, droughts, coastal and river erosion, and soil and water salinisation. The agriculture-dependent...

Albania is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in Europe, with significant exposure to extreme weather and climate-related events. This vulnerability is exacerbated by the ongoing effects of climate variability...

Mozambique is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its reliance on climate-sensitive agriculture and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events. The country faces significant challenges such as rising...

Senegal is acutely exposed to climate risks, particularly in the agricultural sector which represents about 15 per cent of the country’s GDP. The agriculture and livestock sectors are highly vulnerable to the impacts of...

Angola, particularly the Cunene region, faces serious socio-economic challenges that increase its vulnerability to climate change. Rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and frequent droughts threaten the region's...

Burundi’s smallholder farmers face escalating climate vulnerability and food insecurity. The country is dependent on rain-fed agriculture, and yields remain low. There is widespread hunger and malnutrition, particularly...

Azerbaijan is facing an escalating level of climate-induced vulnerability. This increased risk is leading to water stress, heatwaves, extreme rainfall and increased frequency and severity of flood events, mudflows and...

Pakistan is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, particularly droughts and floods. The country’s Nationally Determined Contribution outlines an ambitious target for renewable energy, while its National...

Climate change is expected to increase the risks and vulnerabilities faced by local communities in Togo. These hazards include exposure to extreme events, coastal storms, heatwaves, droughts, and floods. The frequency...

Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is an ecologically and socially vital region, home to critical ecosystems like coral reefs, mangroves, seagrasses, cenotes, and coastal dunes. These provide essential services such as coastal...

This project introduces an innovative utility-led approach to scaling distributed clean energy in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS), supporting GCF’s goal of expanding access to sustainable, affordable,...

This project scales up access to climate finance in low- and middle-income countries by developing green bond markets that mobilize investment in low-emission development. It supports GCF’s strategic goal of mobilizing...

SURAGGWA’s objective is to enhance ecological and climate resilience across Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal, while substantially increasing carbon sequestration through...

As GCF’s first dedicated livestock programme, DaIMA aims to strengthen climate resilience, reduce emissions across the dairy value chain and improve the livelihoods of dairy farmers in East Africa. The dairy sector in...

Cambodia faces increasing climate risks, with rural communities particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. The country’s agriculture sector, which employs over 70 per cent of the population, is highly exposed to...

India is the world’s third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide, with its energy supply heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Over the past decade, India has made significant progress and achieved rapid growth in renewable...

Nepal is experiencing accelerated glacial retreat due to climate change, intensifying the risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), which threaten the safety, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure of downstream...

This project advances REDD+ in Papua New Guinea by reinvesting results-based payments into forest governance and sustainable land use. This aligns with GCF’s broader efforts to scale forest and ecosystem investments as...

This project will strengthen the resilience of educational systems in Cambodia, South Sudan, and Tonga by retrofitting schools with climate-resilient features, integrating early warning systems, and embedding climate...

The fertilizer industry is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, driven largely by fossil fuel-based ammonia production. With long-lived infrastructure and high investment costs, the sector faces structural...

This project will help protect the Maldives from climate threats by providing reliable climate information, allowing early warning of climate events and supporting better preparation to reduce their impact. This project...

Climate change is increasingly impacting the health of the Federated States of Micronesia’s (FSM) population, particularly through increased food-, water- and vector-borne diseases, which are identified as the most...
