The United Nations is currently working to secure climate financing for Afghanistan, a country that has been heavily impacted by climate change.
Due to political and procedural obstacles, Afghanistan has not received any new funding since the Taliban took control in 2021.
These challenges, including drought and devastating floods, have prevented Afghanistan from accessing U.N. climate funds.
In response to the worsening humanitarian situation, U.N. agencies are striving to secure project financing that will help enhance the country"s resilience to climate-related disasters.
If successful, this initiative will provide the first influx of international climate finance to Afghanistan in three years, addressing the urgent needs of a population increasingly affected by environmental crises.
