Yemen launches National Climate Finance Program
[14/11/2024 06:35]
BAKU - SABA
The Yemeni government announced today, on the sidelines of the COP29 conference held in the Azerbaijani capital Baku, the launch of the National Climate Finance Program for the period 2025-2030.

This program aims to enhance the country's ability to adapt to increasing climate challenges.

Member of the Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Abdullah al-Alimi confirmed in his speech during a special event at the climate conference the political leadership and government’s commitment to achieving climate goals despite the significant challenges facing Yemen.

Al-Alimi explained that climate change is a global challenge, but it poses an even greater threat to Yemen, which is suffering from the repercussions of the war ignited by the Houthi terrorist militias backed by the Iranian regime.

This has led to the deterioration of vital resources and increased the country's vulnerability to the impacts of climate changes, citing heavy rains and floods that have affected areas in the Al-Hudaydah, Al-Mahwit, and Taiz governorates, as well as cyclones hitting the eastern coasts.

Dr. Al-Alimi expressed his gratitude to the working team on the program, represented by the Ministry of Water and Environment, relevant ministries, and international, regional, and local partners, especially the Green Climate Fund, which contributed to the funding of this ambitious program's preparation.

Meanwhile, Minister of Water and Environment, Engineer Tawfiq al-Sharjabi, indicated that Yemen faces escalating environmental challenges due to climate changes, such as recurrent droughts, rising temperatures, and increasing sea levels, which negatively impact water resources, agriculture, and infrastructure.

Al-Sharjabi affirmed that the program aims to provide a comprehensive response to national needs in climate finance by enhancing national capacities, developing infrastructure, and encouraging green investments.

The event witnessed broad participation from local and international entities, including the Green Climate Fund, the World Bank, and the United Nations Environment Program, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Fisheries.

This program responds to the difficult environmental conditions the country has faced in recent years, including droughts, floods, and cyclones, which have contributed to increasing the country's vulnerability to climate impacts.

The program aims to support Yemen's efforts in addressing climate challenges and enhancing coordination among relevant entities, contributing to attracting sustainable climate investments.
