Securing Bhutan’s protected areas, comprising 51% of its territory, thus preventing deforestation and preserving resources. Bhutan is committed to the bold goal of remaining carbon neutral, as re-stated in its NDC...

Reducing emissions from Bosnia-Herzegovina’s public sector buildings through better energy efficiency and fuel substitution from fossil fuel to biomass. Bosnia-Herzegovina has a large stock of ageing buildings with high...

Constructing a climate-resilient, year-round port for Nauru, preserving the vital sea-link for its 11,300 population deep in the Pacific. Nauru is the world’s smallest island country, and one of the SIDS. As a result...

Defending the vulnerable Nile Delta against coastal flooding damage to improve the resilience of rural communities. The Nile Delta is among the top three most vulnerable regions in the world, according to the IPCC. The...

Improved water resource management will improve climate resilience for vulnerable communities in the Colombian wetland region of La Mojana. The region of La Mojana, located in an inland deltaic plain with wetland...

Providing rural communities with critical water supplies for year-round drinking water and small-scale irrigation to address risks of drought and other climate impacts. Ethiopia is projected to experience drought...

Creating a climate resilient water sector in Grenada through increased freshwater availability and demand reduction measures. Grenada relies heavily upon surface water and rainwater catchment for its water supply....

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-...

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...

As one of the top ten countries most vulnerable to climate change, Pakistan faces considerable climate-related risks. This vulnerability is further intensified by the country's strong dependence on agriculture. Rising...

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...

Tonga is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, including increases in temperature and precipitation, more intense tropical cyclones, and rising sea levels. Extreme events such as Tropical Cyclones Ian in 2014,...

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...
