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...

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...

The Horn of Africa is one of the most disaster-prone regions in the world, with crippling food insecurity resulting from multiple hazards in the region. The region faces increased vulnerability due to increasing...

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...

West Africa is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world, with crippling agricultural losses, recurrent food crises, water scarcity and extreme flooding, and environmental degradation from multiple climate hazards...

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...
