SUMMARY:The Hague Roundtable on Climate & Security- Breaking the Cycle: Unlocking Climate Finance for Fragile States
DESCRIPTION:Many fragile and conflict-affected states are highly vulnerable to climate change – yet the more fragile a country is\, the less climate finance\, including for adaptation and resilience\, it has historically received.● Extremely fragile states averaged $2.1 per person in adaptation financing compared to $161.7 perperson for not-fragile states (Reda and Wong 2021).● Country-specific analyses show a shortfall in how much FCS receive; for example\, Niger received$6.58 per person per year\, Mali received $4.27 per person per year\, Zimbabwe received $2.05 perperson per year\, and DRC only received $0.92 per capita per year (Alcayna 2020)Challenges to accessing and using climate finance in fragile and conflict-affected areas include a low appetite and tolerance for risk\, stringent funding requirements\, inflexible operational protocols\, and difficulties of monitoring progress and measuring outcomes.In the midst of these funding barriers\, communities living in these vulnerable contexts are often at the forefront of climate change and are facing its most severe impacts. Recent droughts in Somalia to floods in Nigeria have demonstrated the devastating effects of increased unpredictability of weather patterns and in particular the role of water. In this context of volatility\, communities’ resilience to adapt toincreased hazards becomes paramount\, and yet funding is often unable to reach those living in the most vulnerable areas.In this context\, Mercy Corps recently published a study to identify innovative solutions to overcomingthese barriers to finance in fragile and conflict-affected areas: https://www.mercycorps.org/researchresources/breaking-the-cycleAddressing this situation is more urgent than ever\, in particular in this context\, especially as climateexperts and policy-makers are rethinking climate funding structures related to Loss and Damage\, and multilateral development banks and insurance mechanisms.The RoundtableBringing together a variety of stakeholders\, this 13th meeting of The Hague Roundtable will discuss ways to ensure that climate finance reaches those who most need it. In particular\, the Roundtable aims to facilitate the exchange of experiences and identification of solutions to channel climate finance to fragile states. Capitalizing on the scope of stakeholders in and near The Hague\, the Roundtable will seek to advance ideas on: \n\n\n\n\nDesigning solutions to deliver finance and enhance climate resilience in FCS\n\n\n\nFunding these solutions in FCS\n\n\n\nDelivering these solutions in FCS\n\n\n\n\nThe full invitation and agenda is available to view here. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:UN OCHA Centre for Humanitarian Data: Quantifying Climate Change Risk in Humanitarian Response
DESCRIPTION:A new Climate Change Risk Index from INFORM quantifies the humanitarian risks associated with the climate emergency. Depending on different emission and population scenarios\, the number of high risk countries may increase from 36 today to 52 by 2050\, with the number of people living in very high risk countries roughly tripling from 580 million to 1.5 billion. \n\n\n\nExperts will discuss these findings and provide examples of how governments and humanitarian organizations can use this analysis and other research findings to prepare for and respond to climate-related shocks. \n\n\n\nThe speakers are: \n\n\n\n\nTom De Groeve\, Acting Head of the Disaster Risk Management Unit\, Joint Research Centre of the European Commission\n\n\n\nMark Skeith\, Senior Policy Analyst\, U.S. Agency for International Development\n\n\n\nAnna Lena Huhn\, Regional Anticipatory Action and Disaster Risk Financing Advisor\, United Nations World Food Programme Regional Bureau for Southern Africa and Indian Ocean States\n\n\n\nAsar Ul Haq Muhammad\, Shelter and Settlement Cluster Technical Coordinator\, International Organization for Migration in South Sudan\n\n\n\n\nModerated by: \n\n\n\n\nQuynh Nhu Tran\, Humanitarian Affairs Officer\, Policy Branch\, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here!
