Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s updated policy underscores climate change as a major driver of hunger and malnutrition, and outlines Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s ambition to reduce and manage the impacts of climate-specific risks on lives, livelihoods and food systems.
The evaluation of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s 2017 environmental policy assessed the quality and results of the policy and the factors that enabled or hindered achievement of results. It covered the period from 2017 to mid-2024.
The evaluation of Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Emergency Preparedness Policy (2017) assessed the quality and results of the policy, along with the factors that enabled and hindered those results. It covered the period 2018-2024.
Final evaluation of the project on climate resilience of rural households in the Dry Corridor in Nicaragua (Nueva Segovia, Madriz y Estel¨ª) from August 2020 to March 2025
Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Disaster Risk Financing solutions have been helping affected communities respond to the impacts of El Ni?o-induced droughts by delivering timely financial assistance and strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities in Southern Africa.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ is committed to scaling up Anticipatory Action programmes to protect more individuals before extreme weather events occur. This page showcases the Anticipatory Action activations throughout 2024, detailing the number of people reached and the specific anticipatory actions implemented in each country. These proactive measures aim to prevent or reduce the humanitarian impacts of predicted shocks, ensuring a faster, more cost-effective, and dignified response while protecting development gains.
The SIIPE Programme was a public-private partnership launched in 2018 designed to strengthen the adaptation and resilience of Somali pastoralist households by insuring them against drought-related livestock risks. The programme offered fully subsidised insurance coverage, work in public activities for able-bodied household members, and financial literacy training. By 2021, the programme had expanded from 3 to 11 woredas, reaching over 28,000 households.
On 24 October, severe tropical storm (STS) Kristine (international name: Trami) triggered widespread flooding and landslides in Luzon, Visayas, and parts of Mindanao, with the Bicol Region among the most severely impacted areas. This report compiles the findings of the rapid damage assessment and needs analysis (RDANA) conducted by Â鶹ÊÓƵ in three hardest-hit Bicol provinces from 27 to 29 October.
Resilient food systems are crucial for addressing climate change, by enhancing food security, improving nutrition, and supporting livelihoods while reversing environmental damage. Â鶹ÊÓƵ contributes to more resilient food systems through its advocacy and technical support to governments, direct programming, and collaboration with various partners including communities, UN agencies, NGO, the private sector, and academia.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Climate and Resilience Investment Pipeline, first launched in December 2023, is the organization¡¯s main vehicle to scale up financial, technical and partnership support to provide immediate climate protection, accelerate adaptation and build long-term resilience for the most food-insecure populations in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCS). Currently, it covers more than 60 countries with 60 programmes and project concepts. With less than 1% of climate finance currently directed to the FCS contexts for adaptation and resilience-building efforts, the Pipeline aims to mobilize the resources required to assist national governments and local communities to avert, minimize and address losses and damages from more frequent and intense climate extremes, while reducing humanitarian needs and boosting food security by 2030.
The evaluation was commissioned by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Office of Evaluation to provide evaluative evidence for accountability and learning to inform the design of the next country strategic plan (CSP) for Mali.
In Chad, nearly 1.5 million people have been affected, with 265,000 hectares of arable land flooded, and there are reports of potential dry spells affecting crops in parts of northern and northeastern Nigeria and Ghana. The situation has raised concerns about potential crop impacts, particularly in the northern and eastern parts of Nigeria.
The UN system, including Â鶹ÊÓƵ, has committed to reducing its reported greenhouse gases by 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030. Â鶹ÊÓƵ needs to gradually eliminate more than 65,000 tonnes of CO2e (CO2 equivalent) from its annual emissions between now and 2030.
A zero-hunger world requires a socially equitable, clean and healthy environment ¨C which is why the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) is committed to applying the highest standards in its interactions with the people, communities and governments we serve, and the natural environment on which we all depend. Environmental Sustainability is therefore one of our cross-cutting priorities in the 2022-2025 Â鶹ÊÓƵ Strategic Plan.
The impact evaluation contributes to the Office of Evaluation's Climate & Resilience impact evaluation window. Also, through this impact evaluation, Â鶹ÊÓƵ and DIME are working together to complement other ongoing efforts and to guide future investments and activities related to resilience in The Sahel.
Countries in the Asia Pacific region are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate-related events even though, historically, they have contributed the least to the climate crisis. The diversity of climate-related risks and hazards they face underscores the critical need for Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) instruments which can help reduce the economic and human cost of disasters.
