The project supports Cabo Verde, Montenegro and Somalia to each prepare and submit standalone Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) and combined Biennial Transparency Report/ National Communication (BTR/NCs). This enables compliance with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement (PA) reporting requirements, while responding to their national development goals. The project shall produce a total of six reports: three standalone BTRs and three combined BTR/NC reports.

<p>The Enhancing Adaptation and Resilience through Nature-based Solutions (EARNSS) project is a $5 million, 5-year innovation initiative in Somalia funded by the <a href="https://www.adaptation-fund.org/project/enhancing-adaptation-and-resilience-through-nature-based-solutions-earnss-in-somalia/" target="_blank">Adaptation Fund</a>. It is implemented by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and executed alongside the Sadar Development and Resilience Institute.</p>

Eastern and Southern Africa are highly vulnerable to climate change, facing recurrent droughts, floods, heatwaves, and increasingly erratic rainfall that intensify water stress and land degradation. These climate stresses are compounded by rapid population growth, projected to rise from around 749 million in 2023 to nearly 964 million by 2050, placing growing pressure on already overstretched infrastructure. In 2023, around 365 million people lacked access to electricity and 580 million lacked access to clean cooking, severely constraining adaptation, productivity, and health outcomes across the region.

The ASCENT-GREEN project  aims to support climate-vulnerable communities across 21 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa by catalysing private-sector delivery of distributed renewable energy, clean cooking, and productive-use energy. It seeks to increase climate resilience, drive economic development, and reduce emissions across some of the region's most remote and fragile contexts.

Structured around three components, the project will establish a regional energy access financing facility providing affordable lending, results-based financing, and technical assistance, prioritizing rural households, fragile, conflict-affected populations, small and medium-sized enterprises and women-owned enterprises; develop regional de-risking facilities including a risk-sharing facility and a carbon risk mitigation facility to crowd in private capital; and establish a Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA)-led regional platform to coordinate policy, technical assistance, and knowledge sharing across participating countries.

Through financing instruments that address barriers such as affordability, risk perception, and scaling up, the project will mobilise significantly larger private flows and accelerate market transformations, enabling far greater reach. It is expected to directly benefit 28.8 million people and indirectly reach a further 13.8 million, supporting improved access to energy services and enhanced resilience across participating countries.

<p>The project objective is to scale-up the climate resilience of ecosystems and livelihoods in Somalia by operationalizing the Great Green Wall Initiative in the country. The project will achieve the stated objective through three outcomes:a) Outcome 1. Improved resilience of agropastoral and pastoral ecosystems to climate changeb) Outcome 2. Enhanced resilience of agropastoral and pastoral livelihoods to climate changec) Outcome 3. Great Green Wall initiative framework operationalized in Somalia</p>
