The Role of Plant-Based Proteins for Enhancing Nutrition in Sri Lanka

report

SLYCAN Trust

From 2020 to 2023, Sri Lanka experienced a significant rise in nutritional and micronutritional deficiencies due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic challenges. As of May 2021, 20% of children under five were underweight (Ministry of Health of Sri Lanka. Emergency Nutrition Plan 2022-2024), with increases in stunting, wasting, or other nutrition-related conditions among children. Although figures for youth are not available, it is expected that they follow a similar pattern of nutritional deficiencies. These issues stem from supply chain interruptions, high food prices, increased unemployment, reduced agricultural production, and loss of income. Together, these factors have severely impacted families' ability to access and afford nutritious meals. Proteins are fundamental nutrients essential for maintaining health and coordinating bodily functions necessary for growth, development, reproduction, and lactation. This is especially crucial for children and youth, whose growth and development rely heavily on adequate protein intake.

Discussion Brief: From Local to Global: Advancing Equitable Access to Climate Finance and Loss and Damage Funding

report

SLYCAN Trust

Devastating, widespread, and rapidly escalating impacts of climate change are being experienced across the world, with the Global South and marginalised groups feeling these impacts first and most severely. As reported by Oxfam in 2022, the estimated costs of L&D by 2030 range from $290 billion to $580 billion. The brunt of this cost is being borne by the most vulnerable individuals, communities, and countries across the Global South who have done the least to contribute to the crisis. This encompasses not only economic losses but also profound and far-reaching non-economic L&D, including the loss of life, cultural identity, indigenous and local knowledge, human health, biodiversity, and territory.

Discussion Brief: Climate Change and Sovereign Debt

report

SLYCAN Trust

The intersection of escalating debt burdens and intensifying climate change impacts creates significant challenges, particularly for developing countries of the Global South which have to service existing debt obligations while addressing urgent climate-related issues, which constrains fiscal space and impedes resilience-building efforts. Finding solutions to these challenges will be pivotal to achieving sustainable development, effectively adapting to climate change, and addressing climate-induced loss and damage (L&D). Within this context, SLYCAN Trust actively engages with key stakeholders to scale up research and build capacities surrounding debt sustainability and climate policy processes. This includes the hosting of a fully hybrid workshop on February 7th, 2024, in London. The event was attended by a diverse array of participants from more than twenty countries, including UNFCCC negotiators and government representatives, academia and think tanks, the private sector, civil society organisations, lawyers, and philanthropic organisations. This discussion brief summarizes the main areas of discussion as well as key inputs and takeaways from this event and will feed into the larger knowledge outputs of SLYCAN Trust's work programme on climate change, sovereign debt, and the global financial system.

Briefing Note: Human Mobility in National Adaptation Plans (updated version)

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Human mobility increasingly takes place in the context of climate change. Accordingly, climate action and policy processes need to incorporate human mobility and acknowledge the different ways in which it can become relevant: as an adaptation strategy, as an obstacle to long-term resilience, as maladaptation, or as a form of climate-induced loss and damage (L&D).

Information Brief: Just Transition in Fashion SLYCAN Trust

policy

SLYCAN Trust

The fashion industry with its various supply and value chains is one of the largest contributors to climate change. Research identifies the fashion supply chain as responsible for approximately 5- 10% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, making it the third largest global emitter. This includes different stages of garment or textile production from raw materials to manufacturing, packaging, and transport as well as different scales and levels from smallscale producers to large factories, which can cause impacts to the climate, the environment, and on the social level. A major part of the sector’s emissions also comes from its raw materials, namely the production of fibres. Synthetic fibres such as polyester and nylon are derived from fossil fuels while cotton requires large amounts of water and is often cultivated with carbon-intensive fertilizers.

Scoping Paper: Understanding the Intersection of Sovereign Debt, Climate Finance, and Loss and Damage

policy

SLYCAN Trust

Sovereign debt is a fundamental financial aspect for governments and a readily used tool to facilitate development processes. As countries grapple with the challenges of climate change, the reliance on external debt to fund climate initiatives increases. However, this can become a double-edged sword when unsustainable debt levels hinder investments in climate resilience.

Case Study Brief: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Cultural Loss in Maldives

case

SLYCAN Trust

The impacts of climate change, in particular slow-onset events such as sea level rise and ocean acidification, cause mounting economic and non-economic losses and damages to Maldives, even at the current level of warming. Sea level rise connected to climate change has caused land loss due to coastal erosion and inundation in islands across Maldives, making it one of the most severe climate impacts the country continues to face. All inhabited islands in Maldives are reporting coastal erosion. Homes and critical infrastructure are near the coastline due to the small size of the islands, exposing them to erosion and other coastal hazards.

Information Brief: Enhancing Inclusion and Youth Engagement in Work Related to the Global Goal on Adaptation

policy

SLYCAN Trust

The Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) was established in the Paris Agreement under Article 7 as an aspirational goal that is currently in the process of being operationalized. Throughout the Glasgow-Sharm el-Sheikh work programme, the need to consider gender equality and social inclusion has regularly surfaced in the GGA discussions as an important aspect to be embedded in the GGA framework.

Primer: Landslide Risk, Human Mobility, and Climate-Induced Loss and Damage in Sri Lanka

case

SLYCAN Trust

The rising frequency and intensity of disasters and other impacts related to climate change, including landslides, pose a significant challenge to countries and communities around the world. Sri Lanka, a tropical South Asian island nation, is particularly vulnerable to landslides due to its geographical and topographical characteristics.

Research Report: Strengthening Sri Lanka's Ecosystem for Climate and Disaster Risk Management and Finance

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change increasingly shapes a complex landscape of compound, cascading, and covariate risks that affects all economic and societal sectors, including food systems, rural livelihoods, settlements, infrastructure, tourism, and trade. Particularly for climate-vulnerable developing countries such as Sri Lanka, it is vital to identify and manage these risks through accessible, proactive, anticipatory, and evidence-based approaches that can protect development gains as well as human lives, livelihoods, wellbeing, and prosperity.

Background Note - Interfacing the Global Goal on Adaptation with Other Processes and Finding Convergence

policy

SLYCAN Trust

The Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) is an aspirational goal established under the Paris Agreement amidst concerns about the accelerating pace of climate change and the inappropriate scale and speed of current adaptation efforts. The GGA aims to enhance adaptive capacity, enhance resilience, and reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change with the view to contributing to sustainable development and ensuring a suitable response to adaptation, while also aligning with the mitigation goal of limiting the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 or 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels (Paris Agreement Article 7.1).

Case Study Brief: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Internal Human Mobility in Ghana

case

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change is having a significant impact on the world, with effects felt across all continents and regions. However, the effects of climate change are frequently felt most acutely in areas already vulnerable to environmental, economic, and social stresses. This is especially true in Africa, where climate change is exacerbating existing problems as well as social or economic instability, migration, and displacement.

Primer: Vulnerable Livelihoods and Climate-Related Human Mobility in Niger

case

SLYCAN Trust

The Republic of Niger is a landlocked Sahelian country with three quarters of its land area within the desert zone. The country's population is young (50% is under 25 years of age), largely rural (83.6%), and engaged in crop agriculture or animal husbandry for their livelihoods. Climate change in Niger is characterized by extreme weather events, increasing mean temperatures, increasing temperature extremes (very hot days and nights), and uncertainty regarding future rainfall patterns and variability.

Primer: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Human Mobility in Uganda

case

SLYCAN Trust

Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa and highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to its location and the importance of the climate-sensitive agriculture sector, which employs approximately 70% of Uganda's working population. Different parts of Uganda have experienced periodic occurrence of floods, prolonged droughts, erratic rainfall patterns, landslides, epidemics, conflict, and other natural, social, political, or economic shocks. Communities located in mountainous terrain, impenetrable rainforest, islands, and floodplains are highly vulnerable to severe and persistent poverty due to their physical separation from economic and social opportunities, which traps them in poor living conditions. In Uganda, human mobility is present in two forms: external and internal. External forms of human mobility occur when people from outside the country cross the borders to enter Uganda and choose to settle permanently or temporarily in places of their choice within the country. This publication has been developed as part of SLYCAN Trust's work programme on loss and damage in partnership with the Ministry of Water and Environment, Uganda.

Information Brief: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and the Global Stocktake

policy

SLYCAN Trust

The loss and damage (L&D) theme needs to be explicitly included in the GST as a fourth pillar. Although L&D has been discussed since the drafting of the UNFCCC in 1991, it still needs to progress on climate negotiations and financial support adequately. Three decades later, the GST presents a unique opportunity to highlight on a collective level the gaps, needs, and challenges to averting, minimizing, and addressing L&D towards 2030. Worldwide, evidence-based decisions on L&D are critical to allocating the increasing means of implementation (finance, technology transfer, and capacity building) required in a warming future. This publication has been developed as part of SLYCAN Trust's work programme on loss and damage and the global climate change fellowship programme..

Primer: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Internal Human Mobility in Ghana

case

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change is causing serious losses and damages to lives and livelihoods across Ghana, which is classified as one of the most climate-vulnerable countries due to its heavy reliance on climate-sensitive sectors. Climate-induced loss and damage (L&D) is a growing concern, and people in affected areas are increasingly forced to migrate in search of safety or economic opportunities

Primer: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Cultural Loss in Maldives

case

SLYCAN Trust

Maldives’s exclusive economic zone consists of only 1% land across 1,192 small islands and 99% sea, comprising the world's seventh largest reef system. The seas teeming with marine flora and fauna, white sandy beaches, and year-round warm weather make the country a leading tourist destination.

Human Mobility in National Adaptation Plans

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Human mobility increasingly takes place in the context of climate change. Accordingly, climate action and policy processes need to incorporate human mobility and acknowledge the different ways in which it can become relevant: as an adaptation strategy, as an obstacle to long-term resilience, as maladaptation, or as a form of climate-induced loss and damage (L&D).

Scoping Paper : Understanding Climate-Induced Cultural and Non-Economic Loss

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

The impacts of climate change are causing significant losses and damages to human and ecological systems around the world. Addressing these losses and damages is an increasingly important priority on the local and national level as well as in the context of global policy and action under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). While some of the impacts of climate change can potentially be reversed (for example, through reconstruction, recovery, restoration, rehabilitation, or replacement), others damage or destroy irreplaceable values and assets. In particular, this is the case for non-economic loss (and damage) (NEL/NELD), which can affect individuals, societies, and the natural environment.

Enhancing Innovative Climate Risk Transfer and Agricultural Insurance Mechanisms in Sri Lanka

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change impacts are already felt across many vulnerable developing countries and are projected to have particularly devastating effects on economies and people relying heavily on agriculture and natural resources. In Sri Lanka, the impacts of climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current economic difficulties have highlighted the need for enhancing existing risk management and protection systems, including robust risk transfer solutions. Risk transfer instruments such as insurance mechanisms can be part of an effective and comprehensive climate risk management framework for countries and regions and can help to protect and build the resilience of individuals, households, communities, and economic sectors. This paper provides an overview of the enabling environment for agricultural risk transfer in Sri Lanka and identifies potential ways to increase insurance market penetration for smallholder farmers in the country, particularly related to legal and regulatory frameworks and the potential introduction of new and innovative insurance products.

The Farmer's Perspective: Climate Risk and Risk Management in Sri Lanka's Agriculture Sector

case

SLYCAN Trust

Sri Lanka’s food systems revolve around the production of rice as a main staple crop. In addition, fruits and vegetables, grains, meat, fish, and dairy are also important sources of food security. 27.1% of the country's total population engages in agricultural activities, and agriculture accounted for 7.4% of total GDP in 2020.

Addressing Climate and Disaster Risk in Sri Lanka: Crop Insurance Schemes

case

SLYCAN Trust

Since 1958, the Government of Sri Lanka has invested in crop insurance schemes. This was initiated with a pilot project in selected areas and later expanded to several nationwide agricultural insurance schemes. Initially managed by the Crop Insurance Board, these schemes are now overseen by the Agriculture and Agrarian Insurance Board (AAIB) as well as the NationalInsurance Trust Fund (NITF), which has been contributing to crop insurance fund maintenance since its establishment under the National Insurance Trust Fund Act in 2006.

SLYCAN Trust Research Newsletter 1/2022 - Climate Change and Human Mobility

newsletter

SLYCAN Trust

Climate-related human mobility is an increasingly important topic on the local, national, and global level, including in the UNFCCC process. It takes many forms, such as internal environmental migration, disaster displacement, climate-driven labour migration, planned relocation, seasonal agricultural migration, permanent exodus from rural areas, transboundary pastoralist movements, trapped populations, and voluntary immobility. Human mobility affects millions of people around the world, including those who move, their family members, the communities they leave behind, and host populations taking in climate migrants and the displaced. It connects to different sectors as well as cross-cutting considerations such as gender, youth, the informal sector, social protection, and just transition, rendering it a complex thematic area that needs to be addressed with holistic, equitable, participatory, intersectional, and transdisciplinary approaches.

Integrating Human Mobility into Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change increasingly influences and shapes the patterns of human mobility across the world. From internal or international migration to disaster displacement and planned relocation, the impacts of climate change create new push and pull factors, exacerbate underlying vulnerabilities, and alter the interaction of aspirations, perceived opportunities, and decision-making related to human mobility. With regard to the integration of human mobility considerations into climate policies and processes, it is therefore critical to understand the context and multi-causal, multi-directional nature of these linkages between different forms of mobility and different impacts of climate change. This scoping paper aims to identify key aspects, elements, and considerations for enhancing the integration of safe and orderly human mobility into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAP), and other climate-related policies, processes, and documents.

UPDATED Briefing Note on Human Mobility in Nationally Determined Contributions

policy

SLYCAN Trust

Increasingly, climate change has become an underlying driver of human mobility that shapes and alters existing movement patterns or opens up new movement corridors around the world. This briefing note examines the extent to which the different dimensions of human mobility - migration, disaster displacement, and planned relocation - have been integrated into the revised, updated, and newly submitted Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement. Out of the 156 parties who have submitted their revised, updated, or first NDCs in 2020-2022 so far, 61 (39%) make some form of reference to human mobility, the majority of them in Africa, Asia, and South and Central America. Based on these submissions, the percentage of NDCs that mention human mobility in some form seems to have increased considerably compared to the first round of submissions, highlighting the importance of human mobility in the context of climate change as a key issue for national adaptation planning, national policies and actions, and activities in the lead-up to COP27 for many countries around the world, particularly developing countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and South and Central America.

The Role of CSOs for Scaling Up National and Regional Actions to Address Climate-Induced Loss & Damage

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change affects livelihoods, lives, societies, and natural ecosystems in ways that exceed the limits of adaptation and overwhelm the coping capacities of vulnerable communities, groups, and countries. Treating loss & damage (L&D) as the third pillar of the Paris Agreement besides mitigation and adaptation is a key challenge for COP27 and beyond. It is important that all stakeholders push for enhanced recognition of L&D in negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and commitments for tangible support including in the form of new and additional funding for L&D, technical assistance, knowledge-sharing, and technology transfer.

Key CSO-Led Actions and Recommendations for Addressing Adaptation Needs and Building Resilience

research-and-technical-papers

SLYCAN Trust

As climate change affects societies, economies, and the environment, adaptation is becoming increasingly vital, particularly countries, groups, or communities highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. In addition to ambitious mitigation action, concrete support for adaptation is needed at scale and on all levels to address adverse climate impacts. Scaling up adaptation support and establishing a Global Goal on Adaptation as outlined in Article 7 of the Paris Agreement should therefore be a priority in negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and strengthened at all levels in- and outside the UNFCCC system
