🔍 How can countries in the MENA region address climate risks that cross borders? 🌍 As climate change intensifies, the Middle East and North Africa are facing increasingly interconnected challenges such as water scarcity, food security, trade and finance. Tackling these transboundary risks requires regional cooperation and innovative adaptation strategies. This article highlights key approaches to safeguarding shared resources and enhancing resilience across borders. 🔗 https://buff.ly/489uRSy #ClimateRisk #MENA #Adaptation #ClimateAction #Collaboration #Sustainability #WaterSecurity

💡Thematic Thursday: Loss and Damage (L&D) 🙋 How can 'Non-Economic L&D' be better integrated in policy? 💰 Non-economic #LossandDamage is by definition not easily quantified, especially in financial terms, and hence more likely to 'fall through the cracks' of policy and funding. 📃 This brief by the Loss and Damage Youth Coalition explores the policy gaps and strategies for recognising, preventing and addressing non-economic losses and damages.

💡 Thematic Thursday: Loss and Damage (L&D) 🌏 How can we operationalize financial mechanisms that support vulnerable communities facing the realities of L&D? ✊ This report provides essential information for crucial negotiations and discussions on L&D finance. It examines various options for operationalizing finance, highlighting key principles and innovative modalities to tackle this pressing issue. https://buff.ly/3zTAZBy CC: SEI — Stockholm Environment Institute International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) ODI Climate Analytics Germanwatch e.V.

🌍 Are our financial systems truly aligned with climate-resilient development? 💡 This OECD - OCDE framing paper delves into efforts to align finance with climate resilience and outlines potential pathways for defining, measuring, and mobilizing adaptation-aligned finance. Key principles proposed for climate resilience-aligned finance include: 1️⃣ Physical Risk Management; 2️⃣ Do No Significant Harm; 3️⃣ Alignment with Adaptation Strategies (e.g. NAPs) and Objectives; 🔗 Read more within the paper: https://buff.ly/4g41xQQ #ClimateFinance #SustainableInvestment #ClimateResilience #Adaptation #Finance #ClimateChange #OECD

🌏 What does Locally Led Adaptation look like in practice? 🙋 Five practitioners who attended the #CBA18 conference hosted by IIED in Tanzania last May share key learnings from their own work as well as from the conference regarding promising Locally Led Adaptation solutions and approaches. https://buff.ly/4atzR3L International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) African Youth Initiative on Climate Change (AYICC) African Centre for International Trade and Development - ACITD Join For Water Transitions Research

🌍 💰 As we approach COP29, a critical focus will be the establishment of the New Climate Finance Goal. The "new collective quantified goal on climate finance" (NCQG) will be a key milestone for scaling up global efforts to tackle the climate crisis. With the current $100 billion annual goal falling short, what should the next target look like? Here are the 7 key elements under negotiation: 1️⃣ Setting an ambitious target that meets developing countries’ climate finance needs 2️⃣ Determining which countries should contribute to the new finance goal 3️⃣ Choosing an appropriate time frame 4️⃣ Addressing adaptation, mitigation and Loss and Damage 5️⃣ Defining the New Finance Goal's relationship with article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement 6️⃣ Designing the NCQG to support high-quality climate finance 7️⃣ Implementing transparent processes to track progress Learn more about the 7 key elements under discussion in this World Resources Institute blog: 🔗 https://buff.ly/3Y3WveW #COP29 #ClimateFinance #ClimateAction #Sustainability #GreenFinance #ClimateResilience #GlobalGoals

🌊 How can the #NileRiver be better managed under the threat of #climatechange? 📃 This paper published in Nature presents a planning framework for adaptive management of the Nile's #GrandRenaissanceDam #GERD. 🤝 The authors show that if #Egypt, #Ethiopia and #Sudan compromise cooperatively and adaptively in managing the #dam, the national-level #economic and #resilience benefits are substantial, especially under #climateprojections with the most extreme streamflow changes.
