South-East Asia remains one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, partly because of its long coastal areas impacted by rising sea levels, densely populated urban areas and reliance on natural resources....

It is expected that USD 2.8 trillion will be needed between 2020 and 2030 for Africa to implement its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Yet, in 2019 and 2020, Africa received only 12 to 15 per cent of the...

Jordan faces extreme water scarcity exacerbated by climate change and population growth. In 2022, the country had a water deficit of 20 per cent despite 94 per cent network access. Most households receive water less...

Ethiopia is among the most climate-vulnerable countries globally, facing rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, recurrent droughts, floods, and heat stress. Rapid urbanization has intensified these risks in Addis Ababa...

Mozambique faces recurrent droughts, floods, cyclones, and rising temperatures that disproportionately affect rural and low-income communities. These hazards severely undermine agricultural productivity and food...

Eastern and Southern Africa are highly vulnerable to climate change, facing recurrent droughts, floods, heatwaves, and increasingly erratic rainfall that intensify water stress and land degradation. These climate...

Kenya ranks 150th on the ND-GAIN Climate Vulnerability Index, with micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and farmers particularly exposed to intensifying droughts, floods, heat stress, and erratic rainfall....

Cocoa and coffee are climate-sensitive commodities cultivated by smallholder farmers across Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ghana, Guatemala, Nigeria, Peru, Rwanda, and Uganda. They face...

Viet Nam is home to one of Southeast Asia’s most ecologically significant forest landscapes, playing a critical role in sustaining biodiversity, regulating ecosystems, and supporting livelihoods. However, forests have...

Tonga, Vanuatu, and Samoa are among the Pacific nations most vulnerable to climate change. Their geographic isolation and exposure to extreme hydro-meteorological hazards leave them susceptible to climate shocks....

Southeast Asia faces a dual crisis of escalating greenhouse gas emissions and severe vulnerability to climate change. Rapid decarbonisation is needed, but there is a climate finance gap. While countries have ambitious...

Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan face growing climate risks, including rising temperatures, water stress, and increasing pressure on natural resources, while their energy systems remain heavily reliant on fossil...

The Bahamas is highly vulnerable to climate change, with 100 per cent of the population exposed to extremely strong winds. The country has low adaptive capacity with water supply infrastructure at risk from storm surges...

Jamaica faces growing climate risks as rising temperatures and increasingly frequent extreme weather events threaten its ecosystems and rural livelihoods. The country is experiencing stronger hurricanes, erratic...

The Peruvian Amazon forms a vital part of the Amazon biome and is one of the world’s most important ecosystems for climate regulation and biodiversity conservation. Within this landscape, approximately 17 million...

Brazil’s Cerrado, one of the world’s most biodiverse savanna ecosystems and a critical carbon sink, is facing increasing pressure from agricultural expansion, particularly soy production. Soy farmland expanded from 13...

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is home to some of the world’s most important carbon-sink ecosystems and biodiversity hotspots. However, the region is also highly vulnerable to climate change. These climate...

Ecuador's agriculture and food sector is highly vulnerable to climate change, with rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns threatening productivity and food security. Between 2000 and 2017, climate-related...
