Info Note: Our approach to integrating Gender Equity, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) into technical assistance requests

The CLEAN Helpdesk integrates gender equity, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) through all technical assistance (TA) requests to advance effective and sustainable climate, environment and nature (CEN) outcomes. We support programmes to embed equitable outcomes, meaningfully engage socially excluded groups, and leverage GEDSI co-benefits through their work. Read more about our approach in this info note.

Financing Climate change adaptation in fragile states

This brief highlights Somalia's vulnerability to climate hazards, exacerbated by climate change, and the critical need for increased climate finance. As of May 2023, the ongoing drought since 2021 has severely impacted over 6.6 million people, leading to significant humanitarian appeals—rising from USD 1.09 billion in 2021 to USD 2.27 billion in 2022. Despite these challenges, Somalia receives minimal climate finance.

How can Africa manage the transboundary climate crises it faces?

The policy brief "How Can Africa Manage the Transboundary Climate Risks It Faces?" examines how climate change impacts and related actions in one nation can create risks that extend beyond borders, termed transboundary climate risks (TCARs). These risks can hinder economic progress, disrupt trade and food security, and affect infrastructure across Africa.
