Three ways countries are financing resilience as climate shocks intensify

Countries in Southern Africa are turning the challenge of drought into opportunity by developing gender-smart, community-led solutions that strengthen resilience, protect livelihoods and restore land.

After devastating wildfires, South Korea is restoring forests in ways that protect biodiversity, reduce future fire risk and support local communities.

Towns and cities are home to more than half of the world’s population and responsible for around 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions driving the climate crisis. As cities expand and emissions rise, agrihoods offer a powerful alternative to traditional development by reducing carbon footprints, strengthening local food systems, and reconnecting people with nature.
