Adaptation Finance

Climate change is a problem we are living with but communities share this burden differently, with poorer communities often suffering the most. In Africa for example, many of the things people depend upon and value: water, energy, transportation, wildlife, agriculture, ecosystems and human health. They are at risk from the effects of the climate crisis. […]

Climate change is one of all encompassing global environmental changes likely to have deleterious effects on natural and human systems, economies and infrastructure. The risks associated with it call for a broad spectrum of policy responses and strategies at the local, regional, national and global level. The response strategies include both mitigation and adaptation. Where

We have all come to understand there is a strategic role of renewable energy in climate change adaptation and in mitigation-adaptation synergies on the African continent. Renewables-based adaptation solutions will promote adaptation and reinforce mitigation efforts synchronously across multiple sectors. As a versatile energy resource, renewables can serve a broad range of adaptation needs and provide benefits

World natural disasters lead to more human displacement than conflicts. Most disaster-related displacement is short term, but migration related to slow-onset climate change may be more permanent and possibly large-scale. Sea-level rise, land degradation, coastal erosion, extreme temperature, and other gradual impacts of climate change are making entire areas unlivable.  Threatening the viability of rural
