Viet Nam’s rapidly growing economy is placing increasing pressure on its natural resources, including forests. Despite a logging ban in 2016, the nation has faced challenges in balancing forest conservation with farmers...

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...

Smallholder farmers in Africa are increasingly vulnerable to climate change. Rising temperatures, droughts, and shifting rainfall patterns threaten their livelihoods and food security. Cultivating 80 per cent of Africa'...

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...

Senegal has a major agricultural sector that contributes to employment and food security, but the industry is highly exposed to the negative effects of climate change.  Increasing climate threats such as droughts, heat...

Poor land management, particularly deforestation for agriculture, contributes significantly to carbon emissions, worsening global warming and diminishing land productivity. While sustainable land management (SLM)...

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....

The Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are vulnerable to climate change impacts due to threats from coral reef degradation and ocean warming. Higher sea temperatures are degrading coral reefs and reducing the amount of...

Serbia is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the Balkan region. Climate change impacts such as rising temperatures, heatwaves, and climatic hazards are degrading Serbia's forests, compounded by...

The Amazon Basin is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, experiencing extreme events such as prolonged droughts and an increase in temperatures and flood frequency. These climate challenges impact water...

This project aims to boost climate resilience for smallholder farmers in northern Ghana by enhancing food security, strengthening the rural economy, and promoting sustainable livelihoods through climate-resilient...

Northern Mauritania faces desertification due to climate change, accelerating sand dune encroachment into farmlands and settlements. Water sources are drying up, pressure is increasing on limited resources, critical...

South Africa faces significant climate change challenges threatening water resources, agriculture, biodiversity and livelihoods. Droughts, extreme rainfall events, and wildfires have increased significantly over the...

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...

Rwanda’s Eastern Province contains the largest area of national farming lands, but it is highly vulnerable to increasing drought. With smallholder farmers depending exclusively on rainfall, changes to weather...

About 570 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa lack access to electricity, and instead have to rely on kerosene and diesel generators for lighting. Meanwhile, 85 percent of the population lack access to clean cooking...

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) which is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the effects of climate change and one of the least able to meet those...

In the Chao Phraya basin in Thailand, significant increases in the frequency of heavy rains are predicted as a result of climate change – in turn increasing the risk of severe floods.  But alongside the risk of flooding...

Timor-Leste is a Least Developed Country (LDC) and also one of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) which is in the process of re-building its government systems and infrastructure after 25 years of conflict. ...

The project will promote the adoption of Clean Cooking Solutions in Nepal’s Terai region. Nepal has been making efforts to shift towards clean fuels and cooking technologies. While there has been progress in both urban...

Home to the world’s largest tropical forest, the Amazon is highly vulnerable to climate change.  The combination of increased temperatures and deforestation are creating adverse climate feedback loops.  Increasingly...

The Central American Dry Corridor and the arid zones of the Dominican Republic are among the world's most vulnerable tropical regions to the impacts of climate change. Climate projections for the region indicate...

Water security is a key issue for Kenya.  The country has limited freshwater and faces chronic water scarcity and high rainfall variability, which are worsened by climate change impacts.  The Athi River Catchment is the...

Climate change has adversely affected Niger’s agriculture, which is the country’s main income source and livelihood for most of the population.  Irregular rainfall, short rainy seasons, droughts, flooding and lack of...

As global temperatures increase and the demand for cooling rises, so do the emission levels of greenhouse and fluorinated gases, which have a very high global warming potential.  Reports cite that at 1.5°C of warming –...

The Group of Five for the Sahel (G5 Sahel) countries – Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger –are characterized by high poverty levels, high vulnerability to climate change, and low electrification rates.  ...
