Among the 25 countries that are considered the most vulnerable and least ready to adapt to climate change, 60 percent are also affected by conflict. Yet these countries remain among the most excluded from climate finance. The Humanitarian Talk - Leave no one behind: Rallying forces to direct climate finance to places affected by conflict and fragility - co-organized by the ICRC, Germany and Belgium with the support of ODI and Garkua (Niger – TBC) will look at the existing mechanisms and efforts as well as gaps to ensuring that sufficient climate finance reaches countries affected by conflict.
