Key drivers of this transition include investments in skill development, innovation, capacity-building, and technology, alongside enhanced access to finance and strengthened public-private partnerships. This explainer draws insights from national and local stakeholder workshops, surveys, and an assessment of Sri Lanka's current industry landscape. It offers a non-exhaustive overview of the opportunities and challenges in fostering an ethical and climate-friendly fashion sector.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/case-study-the-nexus-of-climate-change-sovereign-debt-and-climate-finance-in-ghana" class="link-block-3-copy w-inline-block w-clearfix"><div id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273e9f-74db9d11" class="text-block-17-copy">Research & Technical Papers</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/672dc3563b275d8d70433a01_COVER_CASE%20STUDY_Climate%20Change%2C%20Debt%2C%20and%20Finance%20in%20Ghana.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Case Study: The Nexus of Climate Change, Sovereign Debt, and Climate Finance in Ghana</h1><p class="categoryhidden">research-and-technical-papers</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">Key sectors of Ghana's economy and society are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, which are already causing significant loss and damage (L&D). At the same time, the country faces macroeconomic challenges that include a rising fiscal deficit and unsustainable debt. This case study illustrates the complex nexus of climate change, sovereign debt, and the global financial architecture, posing unique challenges for climate-vulnerable developing countries. On one hand, there is a need to invest in climate change adaptation and long-term resilience-building without adding to the existing debt burden and economic challenges; on the other hand, new and additional finance is also required to respond to climate-induced L&D that could otherwise lead to emergency borrowing when costs exceed available domestic budgets. The impacts of climate change on Ghana can become drivers of new debt, and existing debt can slow down or prevent ambitious climate action and resilience-building. To prevent a vicious cycle, it is crucial to understand these dynamics at the national as well as global level. Non-debt-inducing finance as well as innovative financial instruments and frameworks are necessary to effectively address climate change in developing countries and ensure key principles such as equity, justice, and common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR). As a climate-vulnerable developing country now exiting its 2022 selective debt default, Ghana provides a real-life case study on challenges, dimensions, and solution pathways.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/primer-local-level-access-to-climate-finance-for-adaptation-and-loss-and-damage" class="link-block-3-copy w-inline-block w-clearfix"><div id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273e9f-74db9d11" class="text-block-17-copy">Policy Brief</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/672344c862fea1ce91a16b32_COVER%20PRIMER_Local-Level%20Access%20to%20Climate%20Finance.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Primer: Local-Level Access to Climate Finance for Adaptation and Loss and Damage</h1><p class="categoryhidden">policy</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">In the face of intensifying climate change impacts and the urgent need for ambitious climate action, finance and other means of implementation have been identified as key enablers. However, many developing countries lack sufficient domestic resources to fully address the impacts of climate change on their territories, people, and economies, while global funds mostly target the regional or national level and may not reach the ground. While the impacts of climate change are already severely felt on the ground, accessing finance at the local level at the required scale and speed remains a challenge. This persists despite clear evidence documenting the specific needs of subnational actors, including communities, local governments, cities, and regions, in response to the changing climate. Particularly for those who are most vulnerable, investments into adaptation, resilience-building, and responding to loss and damage (L&D) are essential to protect human lives, livelihoods, health and wellbeing, social cohesion, and cultural heritage. Currently, there is a mismatch between these clear needs on the ground and the ability of sub-national actors to access climate finance. It is therefore vital to evaluate potential modalities for local access that could be operationalized by the new Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) as well as other global funds including the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Global Environment Facility (GEF), and Adaptation Fund. Building on stakeholder input and lessons learned from existing funds as well as other sectors (e.g., health, the humanitarian sector, or disaster risk management), this primer provides an overview of key aspects of local access to climate finance.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/managing-climate-risks-across-sectors-fashion-food-systems-and-health" class="link-block-3-copy w-inline-block w-clearfix"><div id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273e9f-74db9d11" class="text-block-17-copy">Newsletter</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/671f51153690db39204de63c_SEP_24.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">SLYCAN Trust Newsletter - September 2024 - Managing Climate Risks Across Sectors: Fashion, Food Systems, and Health</h1><p class="categoryhidden">newsletter</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">Welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter, where we highlight some of our recent work on climate risks across key sectors, such as fashion, food systems, and health.

Finding solutions to these challenges will be pivotal to achieving sustainable development, effectively adapting to climate change, and addressing climate-induced loss and damage (L&D). Within this context, SLYCAN Trust actively engages with key stakeholders to scale up research and build capacities surrounding debt sustainability and climate policy processes. This includes the hosting of a fully hybrid workshop on February 7th, 2024, in London. The event was attended by a diverse array of participants from more than twenty countries, including UNFCCC negotiators and government representatives, academia and think tanks, the private sector, civil society organisations, lawyers, and philanthropic organisations. This discussion brief summarizes the main areas of discussion as well as key inputs and takeaways from this event and will feed into the larger knowledge outputs of SLYCAN Trust's work programme on climate change, sovereign debt, and the global financial system.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/information-brief-just-transition-in-fashion-slycan-trust" class="link-block-3-copy w-inline-block w-clearfix"><div id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273e9f-74db9d11" class="text-block-17-copy">Policy Brief</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/657428439bc054144c95ec27_JT%20Image.jpg")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Information Brief: Just Transition in Fashion SLYCAN Trust</h1><p class="categoryhidden">policy</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">The fashion industry with its various supply and value chains is one of the largest contributors to climate change. Research identifies the fashion supply chain as responsible for approximately 5- 10% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, making it the third largest global emitter. This includes different stages of garment or textile production from raw materials to manufacturing, packaging, and transport as well as different scales and levels from smallscale producers to large factories, which can cause impacts to the climate, the environment, and on the social level. A major part of the sector’s emissions also comes from its raw materials, namely the production of fibres. Synthetic fibres such as polyester and nylon are derived from fossil fuels while cotton requires large amounts of water and is often cultivated with carbon-intensive fertilizers.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/scoping-paper-understanding-the-intersection-of-sovereign-debt-climate-finance-and-loss-and-damage" class="link-block-3-copy w-inline-block w-clearfix"><div id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273e9f-74db9d11" class="text-block-17-copy">Policy Brief</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/6571222d4a1e5515a37b5ba5_COVER%20Scoping%20Paper_Understanding%20the%20Intersection%20of%20Sovereign%20Debt%2C%20Climate%20Finance%2C%20and%20L%26D.jpg")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Scoping Paper: Understanding the Intersection of Sovereign Debt, Climate Finance, and Loss and Damage</h1><p class="categoryhidden">policy</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">Sovereign debt is a fundamental financial aspect for governments and a readily used tool to facilitate development processes.

Although L&D has been discussed since the drafting of the UNFCCC in 1991, it still needs to progress on climate negotiations and financial support adequately. Three decades later, the GST presents a unique opportunity to highlight on a collective level the gaps, needs, and challenges to averting, minimizing, and addressing L&D towards 2030. Worldwide, evidence-based decisions on L&D are critical to allocating the increasing means of implementation (finance, technology transfer, and capacity building) required in a warming future.

It takes many forms, such as internal environmental migration, disaster displacement, climate-driven labour migration, planned relocation, seasonal agricultural migration, permanent exodus from rural areas, transboundary pastoralist movements, trapped populations, and voluntary immobility. Human mobility affects millions of people around the world, including those who move, their family members, the communities they leave behind, and host populations taking in climate migrants and the displaced. It connects to different sectors as well as cross-cutting considerations such as gender, youth, the informal sector, social protection, and just transition, rendering it a complex thematic area that needs to be addressed with holistic, equitable, participatory, intersectional, and transdisciplinary approaches.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/background-note-on-operationalizing-the-global-goal-on-adaptation" class="link-block-3-copy w-inline-block w-clearfix"><div id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273e9f-74db9d11" class="text-block-17-copy">Policy Brief</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/62a0c230983758232e7a4255_Cover%20Background%20Note%20-%20Operationalizing%20the%20GGA.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Background Note on Operationalizing the Global Goal on Adaptation</h1><p class="categoryhidden">policy</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">This background note was jointly produced by Legal Response Initiative (LRI) and SLYCAN Trust to provide an overview of the Global Goal on Adaptation, the GGA work programme, and questions of adaptation finance, climate risk, and principles-based approaches.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/climate-change-and-human-mobility-in-sri-lanka-climate-impacts-on-labour-migration" class="link-block-3-copy w-inline-block w-clearfix"><div id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273e9f-74db9d11" class="text-block-17-copy">Policy Brief</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/62545441634675836e4ab839_Cover%20-%20Policy%20Brief%20-%20Climate%20Impacts%20on%20Labour%20Migration%20in%20Sri%20Lanka.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Climate Change and Human Mobility in Sri Lanka: Climate Impacts on Labour Migration</h1><p class="categoryhidden">policy</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">This policy brief provides an overview on climate change and labour migration in Sri Lanka, including trends of foreign employment, the role of remittances, gender aspects, the enabling environment, and a detailed case study on Sri Lankan labour migration to Kuwait.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/youth-engagement-and-capacity-building-on-climate-change-adaptation-in-ghana" class="link-block-3-copy w-inline-block w-clearfix"><div id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273e9f-74db9d11" class="text-block-17-copy">Policy Brief</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/621409d2924a1c56eac52208_Cover%20-%20Youth%20Engagement%20and%20Capacity-Building%20on%20Climate%20Change%20Adaptation%20in%20Ghana.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Youth Engagement and Capacity-Building on Climate Change Adaptation in Ghana</h1><p class="categoryhidden">policy</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">Ghana's young and growing population offers challenges but also opportunities that will shape Ghana's development into the future, including efforts on climate change adaptation, resilience-building, and risk management.
