»Es gibt eine Lücke bei der Bereitstellung von Klimafinanzierung in konfliktbetroffenen Gebieten, wodurch die Folgen der Klimakrise noch verstärkt werden«

Watchlist countries receive a fraction of the support they need to confront the impacts of climate change. Wealthy nations and global financial institutions are falling short: Only 13% of total global climate financing reaches these high-risk countries, equating to about $4.70 per capita, compared with over $95 per capita in non-Watchlist countries. Most funding aimed at Watchlist countries is directed toward reducing their already modest carbon footprints, with just 24% allocated to adaptation efforts. As a result, Watchlist countries receive only $1.51 per capita in climate adaptation funding, compared to more than $24 per capita in non-Watchlist countries—hardly enough to help these nations face the challenges they already confront.

On top of these disparities, there is a climate financing delivery gap in conflict-affected settings. Much of climate financing is channeled through national governments that often lack the capacity or control to deliver aid where it is needed. Climate financing and action are rarely tailored to conflict risks, leaving the humanitarian sector to manage climate crises. With inadequate resources, this imbalance compounds the impacts of conflict and extreme poverty, further reinforcing the vulnerability of these communities to the climate crisis.
