The Role of Plant-Based Proteins for Enhancing Nutrition in Sri Lanka

report

SLYCAN Trust

From 2020 to 2023, Sri Lanka experienced a significant rise in nutritional and micronutritional deficiencies due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic challenges. As of May 2021, 20% of children under five were underweight (Ministry of Health of Sri Lanka. Emergency Nutrition Plan 2022-2024), with increases in stunting, wasting, or other nutrition-related conditions among children. Although figures for youth are not available, it is expected that they follow a similar pattern of nutritional deficiencies. These issues stem from supply chain interruptions, high food prices, increased unemployment, reduced agricultural production, and loss of income. Together, these factors have severely impacted families' ability to access and afford nutritious meals. Proteins are fundamental nutrients essential for maintaining health and coordinating bodily functions necessary for growth, development, reproduction, and lactation. This is especially crucial for children and youth, whose growth and development rely heavily on adequate protein intake.

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

case

SLYCAN Trust

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.

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

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.

Background Note - Interfacing the Global Goal on Adaptation with Other Processes and Finding Convergence

policy

SLYCAN Trust

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

case

SLYCAN Trust

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

case

SLYCAN Trust

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.

Primer: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Human Mobility in Uganda

case

SLYCAN Trust

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.

Enhancing Innovative Climate Risk Transfer and Agricultural Insurance Mechanisms in Sri Lanka

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change impacts are already felt across many vulnerable developing countries and are projected to have particularly devastating effects on economies and people relying heavily on agriculture and natural resources. In Sri Lanka, the impacts of climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current economic difficulties have highlighted the need for enhancing existing risk management and protection systems, including robust risk transfer solutions. Risk transfer instruments such as insurance mechanisms can be part of an effective and comprehensive climate risk management framework for countries and regions and can help to protect and build the resilience of individuals, households, communities, and economic sectors. This paper provides an overview of the enabling environment for agricultural risk transfer in Sri Lanka and identifies potential ways to increase insurance market penetration for smallholder farmers in the country, particularly related to legal and regulatory frameworks and the potential introduction of new and innovative insurance products.

In addition, fruits and vegetables, grains, meat, fish, and dairy are also important sources of food security. 27.1% of the country's total population engages in agricultural activities, and agriculture accounted for 7.4% of total GDP in 2020.

Addressing Climate and Disaster Risk in Sri Lanka: Crop Insurance Schemes

case

SLYCAN Trust

Since 1958, the Government of Sri Lanka has invested in crop insurance schemes. This was initiated with a pilot project in selected areas and later expanded to several nationwide agricultural insurance schemes. Initially managed by the Crop Insurance Board, these schemes are now overseen by the Agriculture and Agrarian Insurance Board (AAIB) as well as the NationalInsurance Trust Fund (NITF), which has been contributing to crop insurance fund maintenance since its establishment under the National Insurance Trust Fund Act in 2006.

SLYCAN Trust Research Newsletter 1/2022 - Climate Change and Human Mobility

newsletter

SLYCAN Trust

Climate-related human mobility is an increasingly important topic on the local, national, and global level, including in the UNFCCC process. It takes many forms, such as internal environmental migration, disaster displacement, climate-driven labour migration, planned relocation, seasonal agricultural migration, permanent exodus from rural areas, transboundary pastoralist movements, trapped populations, and voluntary immobility. Human mobility affects millions of people around the world, including those who move, their family members, the communities they leave behind, and host populations taking in climate migrants and the displaced. It connects to different sectors as well as cross-cutting considerations such as gender, youth, the informal sector, social protection, and just transition, rendering it a complex thematic area that needs to be addressed with holistic, equitable, participatory, intersectional, and transdisciplinary approaches.

Integrating Human Mobility into Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change increasingly influences and shapes the patterns of human mobility across the world. From internal or international migration to disaster displacement and planned relocation, the impacts of climate change create new push and pull factors, exacerbate underlying vulnerabilities, and alter the interaction of aspirations, perceived opportunities, and decision-making related to human mobility. With regard to the integration of human mobility considerations into climate policies and processes, it is therefore critical to understand the context and multi-causal, multi-directional nature of these linkages between different forms of mobility and different impacts of climate change. This scoping paper aims to identify key aspects, elements, and considerations for enhancing the integration of safe and orderly human mobility into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAP), and other climate-related policies, processes, and documents.

The Role of CSOs for Scaling Up National and Regional Actions to Address Climate-Induced Loss & Damage

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change affects livelihoods, lives, societies, and natural ecosystems in ways that exceed the limits of adaptation and overwhelm the coping capacities of vulnerable communities, groups, and countries. Treating loss & damage (L&D) as the third pillar of the Paris Agreement besides mitigation and adaptation is a key challenge for COP27 and beyond. It is important that all stakeholders push for enhanced recognition of L&D in negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and commitments for tangible support including in the form of new and additional funding for L&D, technical assistance, knowledge-sharing, and technology transfer.

Key CSO-Led Actions and Recommendations for Addressing Adaptation Needs and Building Resilience

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

As climate change affects societies, economies, and the environment, adaptation is becoming increasingly vital, particularly countries, groups, or communities highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. In addition to ambitious mitigation action, concrete support for adaptation is needed at scale and on all levels to address adverse climate impacts. Scaling up adaptation support and establishing a Global Goal on Adaptation as outlined in Article 7 of the Paris Agreement should therefore be a priority in negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and strengthened at all levels in- and outside the UNFCCC system
