Sovereign debt is a fundamental financial aspect for governments and a readily used tool to facilitate development processes. As countries grapple with the challenges of climate change, the reliance on external debt to fund climate initiatives increases. However, this can become a double-edged sword when unsustainable debt levels hinder investments in climate resilience.

Case Study Brief: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Cultural Loss in Maldives

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet.

The impacts of climate change, in particular slow-onset events such as sea level rise and ocean acidification, cause mounting economic and non-economic losses and damages to Maldives, even at the current level of warming. Sea level rise connected to climate change has caused land loss due to coastal erosion and inundation in islands across Maldives, making it one of the most severe climate impacts the country continues to face. All inhabited islands in Maldives are reporting coastal erosion. Homes and critical infrastructure are near the coastline due to the small size of the islands, exposing them to erosion and other coastal hazards.

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.

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).

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.

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.
