This report examines how African countries are advancing from the design to the implementation of their Long-Term Low-Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS), drawing on case studies from Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, as well as extensive desk research and comparative analysis.

This report highlights the cyclical relationship between climate-induced loss and damage and growing fiscal debt levels in Caribbean SIDS. The report offers several policy recommendations to break the cycle of debt and climate vulnerability.

This policy brief provides actionable insights for the development and effective implementation of Climate Finance Units within governments to mobilise and coordinate climate finance in alignment with national goals.

At COP28, delegates agreed to operationalise a fund to compensate vulnerable countries coping with loss and damage caused by climate change. This report proposes a method for how to calculate how much finance the Global South needs for loss and damage.

With climate extremes hitting nations across the globe, disproportionately burdening vulnerable developing countries, funding for loss and damage is an acute need. Attribution science can provide useful information for decision makers.

Calculating financing needs to respond to loss and damage requires response activities to be costed. However, comprehensive assessments of current and future loss and damage costs are largely unavailable. This briefing proposes using existing databases as proxies in the interim.
