In order to achieve ambitious national climate goals, the use of economic instruments such as crop and climate insurance, taxes, feed-in tariffs for renewable energy and other financial incentives are important enablers. The CTCN is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to support local entrepreneurs, small- and medium enterprises and larger businesses, as well as governmental decision-makers, in identifying these economic instruments. Furthermore the CTCN provides technical assistance for strengthening countries’ capacity to access international financing for climate technology opportunities. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

The Dry Corridor (Corredor Seco) of Guatemala, spanning from the Pacific coast to the northern region, is characterized by prolonged periods of absence of rain, leading to consequential droughts, as well as intermittent episodes of excessive rainfall. This hydroclimatic scenario poses a significant threat to the agricultural and livestock production model in the region, with direct and indirect repercussions on nutrition, human well-being, and health.

Suriname is already experiencing the impacts of climate variability and change, manifesting in increased average atmospheric temperatures, diminished annual rainfall, and the potential escalation in the intensity of tropical storms. The country relies heavily on groundwater resources for its drinking water supply, alongside surface water and direct rainfall. However, with the burgeoning economy, particularly in the tourism and agriculture sectors, water demand is projected to double over the next decade.

Tunisia is in one of the world’s most water-scarce and dry regions. The Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for Tunisia indicates that its economy, the population, and ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate change. The country is expected to see shrinking of agricultural land areas due to increasing water scarcity. The reduction of agricultural GDP as a result of declining yields is estimated at about 5 to 10% by as early as 2030.

The increase in population and the current rate and ever improving standard of living in Namibia, there is growing concern on whether the finite water resources will still be sustainable to all in the future. If climate change is brought into the mix, it seems apparent that countries like Namibia currently suffering water supply shortages will find it even more difficult to quench the thirst of their people. There is a limited level of water recycling technologies in Namibia, combined with high costs of water.
