- Event 28 November 2023 Enabling the shift towards a new finance paradigm: Scaling up adaptation investments for smallholders using novel insurance models International adaptation finance flows to developing countries are 5-10 times below estimated needs and the gap is widening. Without an increase in support, adaptation actions could be outstripped by accelerating climate risks, which would further widen the adaptation implementation gap. Meeting those needs will require a rapid increase in the scale of financing that should go hand in hand with a diversification of the finance sources. Climate finance particularly neglects smallholder farmers…

- News 7 November 2023 New UN report identifies how non-state actors can strengthen climate action transparency To meaningfully address the mounting impacts of the climate crisis, humanity must bolster transparency and accountability at all levels, including in pledges from non-state actors (NSAs), according to a new UNEP report. As the world contends with increasing extreme climate events, such as droughts, floods and wildfires, NSAs can play a critical role in strengthening climate action, experts say. However, their role in national climate efforts remains largely undocumented, according to the UNEP…
- Event 7 November 2023 WEBINAR: How can Non-State Actors strengthen Climate Action Transparency? The climate crisis is threatening our health, food and water security, nature, safety, and socio-economic development. And as the UNEP Emissions Gap Report shows, even though the curve of global emissions is bending, it is not happening quickly enough. To solve the climate crisis, we need all actors on board, including non-state actors. Industry, financial institutions, cities, and regions all have the potential to significantly impact climate action. But how? This webinar builds on the…
- News 2 November 2023 Adaptation Gap Report: As climate impacts accelerate, finance gap for adaptation efforts at least 50% bigger than thought Progress on climate adaptation is slowing on all fronts when it should be accelerating to catch up with rising climate change impacts and risks, according to a new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report. Released ahead of the COP28 climate talks taking place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the Adaptation Gap Report 2023: Underfinanced. Underprepared – Inadequate investment and planning on climate adaptation leaves world exposed finds that the adaptation finance needs of developing…
- Project 1 November 2023 Measuring Uganda's Climate Vulnerabilities Climate change in Uganda is predicted to cause temperature rise and to make rainfall seasonality more erratic, including changes in onset, duration and intensity punctuated with intra-seasonal dry spells, which are expected to further increase climate vulnerabilities and risks. To respond to those risks, the Government of Uganda communicated its NDC in 2016 with adaptation as priority to the UNFCCC Secretariat in accordance with decision 1/CP.21 on adoption of the Paris Agreement. Furthermore,…
