Water scarcity in Zambia threatens the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and the nation’s food supply. Solar-powered irrigation systems are empowering farmers to cultivate more with less. Learn how: https://go.undp.org/4HA
UNDP Climate
International Affairs
We work with nearly 150 countries to turn their climate goals into action.
About us
Tackling the climate crisis requires all countries to make bold pledges under the Paris Agreement, or NDCs, to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming and strengthen adaptation to its impacts. At UNDP Climate, our commitment is to ensure that any country wishing to increase the ambition of their national climate pledge is able to do so. UNDP is now scaling up its support for countries to turn their NDC targets into concrete action – while continuing to push for greater ambition. Leveraging the NDCs as an umbrella, UNDP is bringing together its extensive infrastructure, networks and breadth of substantive offers to provide comprehensive support on NDC implementation. This effort is underpinned by strong support to green COVID-19 recovery measures, as well as leveraging UNDP's strength through measures that align UNDP’s broader portfolio with the Paris Agreement and NDCs.

Despite facing significant barriers, rural women play an increasingly central role in Costa Rica’s agriculture sector, making key contributions to sustainable farming and livestock management. We sat down with three Costa Rican experts to get their insights on how to advance gender equality and climate resilience in agriculture in Costa Rica and beyond. Read about their perspective on how targeted interventions and collaboration drive sustainable development and elevate women’s roles in the livestock sector: https://go.undp.org/4HQ

The 2023 IPCC report underlined the interdependence of climate, ecosystems, and biodiversity and the close linkages between climate change adaptation, mitigation, ecosystem health, human well-being, and sustainable development. The Adaptation Pipeline Accelerator is hosting its seventh knowledge exchange on integrated solutions between nature and climate adaptation. This exchange aims to inform participants about various tools, frameworks, and finance solutions that can benefit climate change adaptation, nature goals, and practical experiences from countries. Join us and partners FAO and UNDP Biodiversity Finance Initiative on Thursday, 12 September, for this nature-climate-nexus exchange! See the full agenda and register here: https://lnkd.in/d3dHFVED .

Climate change impacts affect small island developing states disproportionately. Many SIDS rely on vulnerable food value chains both to bring food to the table as well as to finance climate actions. To support the sustainability of critical food value chains as well as their own sustainable development, three small island development states have begun identifying potential private sector engagement opportunities. With a tighter collaboration between the state, the citizens, and the private sector, these islands are pathing the way for climate-proofed value chains and improved livelihoods. Read more about climate change adaptation and enlisting the help of the private sector in the Solomon Islands, Belize, and São Tomé and Príncipe here: https://go.undp.org/4rg

Forests and other ecosystems within areas managed by #IndigenousPeoples tend to be in better health than nature outside these areas. Indigenous Peoples provide an environmental service to the world, that is often unrecognized, and merits increased political protection and financial support. Their full participation is crucial in the fight against climate change. Here is why: https://go.undp.org/4m3

Sea level rise is a huge threat to the populations, economic activities and cultures of small island states. Some small islands and atolls are even seeing their very existence challenged, and people are being forced to migrate. Deep, rapid, and sustained cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions are needed urgently to stay within a safe global temperature increase of 1.5 °C. At the same time, effective coastal adaptation and investment in resilience must be scaled up worldwide, especially in small island developing states, to minimize the growing impacts and risks of sea level rise.
