The Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) was established in the Paris Agreement under Article 7 as an aspirational goal that is currently in the process of being operationalized. Throughout the Glasgow-Sharm el-Sheikh work programme, the need to consider gender equality and social inclusion has regularly surfaced in the GGA discussions as an important aspect to be embedded in the GGA framework.

Primer: Landslide Risk, Human Mobility, and Climate-Induced Loss and Damage in Sri Lanka

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.

The rising frequency and intensity of disasters and other impacts related to climate change, including landslides, pose a significant challenge to countries and communities around the world. Sri Lanka, a tropical South Asian island nation, is particularly vulnerable to landslides due to its geographical and topographical characteristics.

Climate change increasingly shapes a complex landscape of compound, cascading, and covariate risks that affects all economic and societal sectors, including food systems, rural livelihoods, settlements, infrastructure, tourism, and trade. Particularly for climate-vulnerable developing countries such as Sri Lanka, it is vital to identify and manage these risks through accessible, proactive, anticipatory, and evidence-based approaches that can protect development gains as well as human lives, livelihoods, wellbeing, and prosperity.

The Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) is an aspirational goal established under the Paris Agreement amidst concerns about the accelerating pace of climate change and the inappropriate scale and speed of current adaptation efforts. The GGA aims to enhance adaptive capacity, enhance resilience, and reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change with the view to contributing to sustainable development and ensuring a suitable response to adaptation, while also aligning with the mitigation goal of limiting the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 or 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels (Paris Agreement Article 7.1).

Case Study Brief: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Internal Human Mobility in Ghana

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.

Climate change is having a significant impact on the world, with effects felt across all continents and regions. However, the effects of climate change are frequently felt most acutely in areas already vulnerable to environmental, economic, and social stresses. This is especially true in Africa, where climate change is exacerbating existing problems as well as social or economic instability, migration, and displacement.

Primer: Vulnerable Livelihoods and Climate-Related Human Mobility in Niger

The Republic of Niger is a landlocked Sahelian country with three quarters of its land area within the desert zone. The country's population is young (50% is under 25 years of age), largely rural (83.6%), and engaged in crop agriculture or animal husbandry for their livelihoods. Climate change in Niger is characterized by extreme weather events, increasing mean temperatures, increasing temperature extremes (very hot days and nights), and uncertainty regarding future rainfall patterns and variability.

Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa and highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to its location and the importance of the climate-sensitive agriculture sector, which employs approximately 70% of Uganda's working population. Different parts of Uganda have experienced periodic occurrence of floods, prolonged droughts, erratic rainfall patterns, landslides, epidemics, conflict, and other natural, social, political, or economic shocks. Communities located in mountainous terrain, impenetrable rainforest, islands, and floodplains are highly vulnerable to severe and persistent poverty due to their physical separation from economic and social opportunities, which traps them in poor living conditions. In Uganda, human mobility is present in two forms: external and internal. External forms of human mobility occur when people from outside the country cross the borders to enter Uganda and choose to settle permanently or temporarily in places of their choice within the country. This publication has been developed as part of SLYCAN Trust's work programme on loss and damage in partnership with the Ministry of Water and Environment, Uganda.

The loss and damage (L&D) theme needs to be explicitly included in the GST as a fourth pillar. Although L&D has been discussed since the drafting of the UNFCCC in 1991, it still needs to progress on climate negotiations and financial support adequately. Three decades later, the GST presents a unique opportunity to highlight on a collective level the gaps, needs, and challenges to averting, minimizing, and addressing L&D towards 2030. Worldwide, evidence-based decisions on L&D are critical to allocating the increasing means of implementation (finance, technology transfer, and capacity building) required in a warming future. This publication has been developed as part of SLYCAN Trust's work programme on loss and damage and the global climate change fellowship programme..
