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.

From village artisans to factories supplying major global brands, actors across the supply and value chain face a complex landscape of climate-related risks, such as heat stress, water scarcity, extreme weather events, unavailability of raw materials, or damages to infrastructure. It is imperative to assess these risks as well as the available risk management mechanisms and tools, including financial instruments and risk transfer schemes.

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/briefing-note-human-mobility-in-national-adaptation-plans-updated-version" 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/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/65eaf8d366f52a63f864d42e_COVER%20UPDATED%20Briefing%20Note%20-%20Human%20Mobility%20in%20NAPs.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Briefing Note: Human Mobility in National Adaptation Plans (updated version)</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">Human mobility increasingly takes place in the context of climate change.

Different parts of Uganda have experienced periodic occurrence of floods, prolonged droughts, erratic rainfall patterns, landslides, epidemics, conflict, and other natural, social, political, or economic shocks. Communities located in mountainous terrain, impenetrable rainforest, islands, and floodplains are highly vulnerable to severe and persistent poverty due to their physical separation from economic and social opportunities, which traps them in poor living conditions. In Uganda, human mobility is present in two forms: external and internal. External forms of human mobility occur when people from outside the country cross the borders to enter Uganda and choose to settle permanently or temporarily in places of their choice within the country.

In Sri Lanka, the impacts of climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current economic difficulties have highlighted the need for enhancing existing risk management and protection systems, including robust risk transfer solutions. Risk transfer instruments such as insurance mechanisms can be part of an effective and comprehensive climate risk management framework for countries and regions and can help to protect and build the resilience of individuals, households, communities, and economic sectors. This paper provides an overview of the enabling environment for agricultural risk transfer in Sri Lanka and identifies potential ways to increase insurance market penetration for smallholder farmers in the country, particularly related to legal and regulatory frameworks and the potential introduction of new and innovative insurance products.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/the-farmers-perspective-climate-risk-and-risk-management-in-sri-lankas-agriculture-sector" 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">Case Study</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/6360afca3abe63116c6ef57d_Cover%20Farmer%27s%20Perspective%20Brief.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">The Farmer's Perspective: Climate Risk and Risk Management in Sri Lanka's Agriculture Sector</h1><p class="categoryhidden">case</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy">Sri Lanka’s food systems revolve around the production of rice as a main staple crop.

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/slycan-trust-newsletter-may-june-2022" 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/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/62eb7cf6adba7160c63b31aa_Newsletter%20SLYCAN%20Trust%20-%20Full%20Image%20(1).png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">SLYCAN Trust Newsletter - May - June 2022</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">SLYCAN Trust is happy to share with you our latest updates regarding our work on climate change, sustainable development, adaptation, resilience, just transition, social justice, and ethical and climate-friendly entrepreneurship.

From internal or international migration to disaster displacement and planned relocation, the impacts of climate change create new push and pull factors, exacerbate underlying vulnerabilities, and alter the interaction of aspirations, perceived opportunities, and decision-making related to human mobility. With regard to the integration of human mobility considerations into climate policies and processes, it is therefore critical to understand the context and multi-causal, multi-directional nature of these linkages between different forms of mobility and different impacts of climate change. This scoping paper aims to identify key aspects, elements, and considerations for enhancing the integration of safe and orderly human mobility into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAP), and other climate-related policies, processes, and documents.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/updated-briefing-note-on-human-mobility-in-nationally-determined-contributions" 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/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/623d9dcc3b65741e7b46cdf8_Cover%20UPDATED%20Briefing%20Note%20-%20Human%20Mobility%20in%20NDCs.png")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">UPDATED Briefing Note on Human Mobility in Nationally Determined Contributions</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">Increasingly, climate change has become an underlying driver of human mobility that shapes and alters existing movement patterns or opens up new movement corridors around the world. This briefing note examines the extent to which the different dimensions of human mobility - migration, disaster displacement, and planned relocation - have been integrated into the revised, updated, and newly submitted Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement. Out of the 156 parties who have submitted their revised, updated, or first NDCs in 2020-2022 so far, 61 (39%) make some form of reference to human mobility, the majority of them in Africa, Asia, and South and Central America. Based on these submissions, the percentage of NDCs that mention human mobility in some form seems to have increased considerably compared to the first round of submissions, highlighting the importance of human mobility in the context of climate change as a key issue for national adaptation planning, national policies and actions, and activities in the lead-up to COP27 for many countries around the world, particularly developing countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and South and Central America.</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.

This research product was developed by Southern Voices on Adaptation in partnership with National Platform for CSO on CC and Sustainable Development as national implementing partner and SLYCAN Trust as technical partner.</p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/interview-with-dr-punyawardena-food-security-climate-disaster-risk-management-world-food-day-2020" 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">Multimedia</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/5f9125427eae51d603f9d0cd_-YXzB35fSYosd.jpg")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Interview with Dr. Punyawardena - Food Security, Climate & Disaster Risk Management - World Food Day 2020</h1><p class="categoryhidden">multimedia</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy w-dyn-bind-empty"></p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/interview-with-prof-marambe-agriculture-impacts-of-climate-change-and-food-security-world-food-day-2020" 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">Multimedia</div><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/5f912494e125b82b259410fb_gm1WxicED-Usd.jpg")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Interview with Prof. Marambe - Agriculture, impacts of climate change and food security - World Food Day 2020</h1><p class="categoryhidden">multimedia</p><p class="category-copy">SLYCAN Trust</p><p id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea3-74db9d11" class="card-summary-copy w-dyn-bind-empty"></p></a></div><div role="listitem" class="dynamic-item w-dyn-item w-col w-col-4"><a href="/knowledge-resources/sri-lankas-livestock-sector-and-climate-change" 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/5b51da3fef1d581864485ff5/5f7895e175aeaa8658f7d02f_cover%20policy%20brief.JPG")" class="div-block-41"></div><h1 id="w-node-_9dfca787-929d-a44a-b789-569e2c273ea0-74db9d11" class="kh-titles-hover">Sri Lanka's Livestock Sector and Climate Change</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">Sri Lanka's livestock sector plays an important role for food and nutritional security; climate change; sustainable consumption, production, and development; rural livelihoods; human health; animal welfare; and the environment.
