Climate change was perceived for many years as an environmental problem that called for scientific solutions and environmental policy action. Today, however, it is a more than just an environmental problem when it comes to climate change. It increasingly influences foreign policy, economic development, humanitarian, and international security. With the increasing severity of climate change […]
Adaptation finance is usually seen as a technical problem that revolves around the amount of funding, modalities, or mechanisms of funding and project implementation. However, for climate-vulnerable countries, particularly Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), adaptation finance represents much more than financial assistance. It’s widely portrayed as a matter of survival, […]
If the same sacred texts have been used to justify both domination and stewardship, which interpretation should guide humanity in the age of climate crisis? Faith, Power, and the Climate Crisis As the climate crisis intensifies and increases in frequency, mitigation is no longer about emissions and technology alone, but also integrates cultural and ethical […]
Climate Crisis Beyond Emissions Nigeria’s climate crisis cannot be fully interpreted on the basis of emissions data and policies alone. It has to be read in the open wounds of conflicts, displacement, institutional decay which defines daily life. In fragile states, it is not just industrial emissions or poor policies that causes stagnation in climate […]
The green paradox was first coined by the German economist Hans-Werner Sinn in his book of the same name. Sinn argues that climate policies have the potential to increase emissions instead of reducing them. The concept is rooted in how fossil fuel owners are expected to respond to the prospect of stricter climate policy over […]

The goal of this program is to facilitate community-based management for small-scale fisheries in coastal areas by empowering fisher communities and local governments to protect and utilize their marine resources in a more sustainable manner. The […]
Pakistan has many climate policies. The genuine issue lies in the lack of effective communication, execution, and diplomatic presentation of climate policy. The distinction is important because climate governance is not merely a matter of policy-making; it is also about how well governments communicate risk, how well they coordinate institutions, and whether they build trust […]
Climate diplomacy in today’s world is living in a world where cooperation is not limited by the absence of scientific consensus, but by the structural renewal of geopolitical realism. It’s not that the states don’t acknowledge the existential threat of climate change, it’s just that the international system does not reward states who survive in […]
Assuming that you are part of a huge research project where everyone collectively agrees the goal is important—for instance, protecting a shared forest, but here is the twist: no one is actually mandated to do the work. You can show up every day, enjoy the shade and breeze, and in turn, let everyone handle the […]
Early in 2019, long before global borders were closed, a Guatemalan farmer named Jorge realized that his land had turned against him. After almost five years of lack of rain, an unexpected, catastrophe flooding damaged his remaining yields, forcing him to choose between starvation or flight. The case of Jorge is not an unusual incident; […]
