For landlocked countries, rivers and lakes can be lifelines. But what happens when climate change puts them at risk? As rainfall becomes less predictable and river flows change, water insecurity can quickly turn into food, energy and economic insecurity. And because rivers cross borders, climate impacts can extend far beyond the communities where they begin. 👉 Read our latest photo story to discover how Armenia, the Kyrgyz Republic and Uzbekistan are strengthening their freshwater resources in the face of climate change: https://go.undp.org/NkV With support from UNDP and funding through the Green Climate Fund Readiness Programme, learn more about how these countries are using their National Adaptation Plan processes to strengthen freshwater resilience.

🌍 A Global Safety Net for Climate-Risk Intelligence Is Urgently Needed The deadly glacier collapse and flash flood along the Nepal–China border in August exposed a critical gap in climate adaptation: communities face rapidly evolving hazards when national monitoring is sparse or risks emerge beyond political borders. A new Correspondence in Nature argues that a coordinated, global safety net for climate-risk intelligence is no longer optional — it's a matter of survival. Key takeaways: 🔹 Cross-border climate hazards demand international early-warning cooperation 🔹 Sparse national monitoring leaves vulnerable communities exposed 🔹 Collective action and shared intelligence systems are essential for resilience 📅 Published: September 22, 2026

The hardest places to invest are often the ones where climate adaptation is needed most. In this article, Niclas Baur shares lessons from C4’s work in Somalia and explores how combining nature-based solutions with traditional infrastructure can help address climate risks while improving the long-term sustainability of adaptation projects.

Climate Migration: The Silent Crisis Redrawing the Map of the World Climate change is no longer only an environmental crisis - it is increasingly driving displacement and migration. Estimates suggest that around 250 million people could be displaced by climate-related impacts by 2050, with some scenarios projecting numbers as high as one billion. Climate migration means the loss of homes, livelihoods, and food security, creating growing challenges for humanitarian action, development, and climate justice.

Droughts and cyclones can strain the relationship between displaced people and the communities hosting them. A research collaboration between CGIAR Climate Security, IOM Mozambique and Penn State University in Cabo Delgado and Manica, Mozambique, showed that resource scarcity, unequal aid and the cause of displacement all influenced how the two groups related to each other. The findings point to responses that support displaced people and hosts together, while adapting to the different pressures created by sudden and slow-onset climate events. Swipe for more.
