This introductory research paper provides a geographic, political, and environmental overview of Djibouti, detailing its strategic position as a maritime hub, its extreme climate vulnerability, and its administrative structure.

The 'Climate Risk Profile: Belize' report outlines the climatic hazards facing Belize, specifically focusing on the Maya Forest Corridor, Glover's Reef Marine Reserve, and South Water Caye Marine Reserve. It emphasizes the need for nature-based solutions (NbS) that are gender-responsive and socially inclusive to mitigate threats to biodiversity, food security, and socio-economic development.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute analyzes climate change risks and adaptation strategies for eight nature-based value chains in four arid and semi-arid counties of Kenya: Narok, Elgeyo Marakwet, West Pokot, and Turkana. Using the VC-ARID methodology, the study identifies how rising temperatures and erratic rainfall impact production, processing, and marketing of products such as livestock, fodder, honey, and aloe. It emphasizes the need for transformative adaptation, including the integration of traditional knowledge with modern technology, the strengthening of cooperatives, and the involvement of the private sector to build resilience against frequent droughts and floods.

This report by Zero Carbon Analytics examines Bangladesh's increasing reliance on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the resulting financial, energy, and climate risks. It argues that the pivot toward LNG has left the country vulnerable to global price shocks and power shortages while stagnating renewable energy growth, ultimately exacerbating the country's extreme vulnerability to climate change and heat stress.

This fact sheet details a USD 145 million green bond issued by the Stockton Public Financing Authority on November 20, 2018, to refinance water distribution infrastructure.

This report outlines several Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) initiatives in Nepal focused on enhancing climate resilience across the agriculture, hydroelectricity, and irrigation sectors, as well as improving the government's capacity to access international climate finance.

This report, commissioned by the UNDP, assesses climate risks for wetlands in Niger, specifically focusing on La Mare de Tabalak in the Tahoua region. It examines the vulnerability of the pond and its local inhabitants to recurring droughts and floods, the impact of environmental degradation, and the existing institutional frameworks for climate risk management. The document provides recommendations for sustainable wetland management, emphasizing intercommunal cooperation, improved monitoring, and the integration of gender issues into climate policies.

This report, commissioned by the UNDP and implemented by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), assesses climate risks to crop production—specifically maize, beans, and coffee—in Uganda's Rakai and Kapchorwa districts. It identifies that while Uganda has seen economic growth, its heavy reliance on rain-fed agriculture makes it highly vulnerable to increasing droughts, floods, and rising temperatures. The study combines local consultations, crop modelling, and literature reviews to recommend a holistic risk management approach involving conservation agriculture, improved irrigation, stress-resistant crop varieties, and strengthened national governance and coordination.
