World leaders pledge for weather and climate data at COP27

In the context of COP27, the UN Climate Conference, Nordic Development Fund (NDF) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) gathered a full house to mobilize additional funding to ensure that the countries most vulnerable to climate change can get financing to bridge the gaps in weather and climate data.

“Basic weather and climate data is a global public good that underpins all climate action, including early warning systems. The Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) will narrow the data gap from Least Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States. NDF was among the initial SOFF funders”, says Henrik Franklin, NDF’s Director of Portfolio Management and Origination and co-chair of SOFF.

Smart solutions improve avocado farmers’ lives in Ethiopia

As the climate change brings increasing challenges to smallholder farmers, innovative solutions are in high demand. These solutions are tested in projects focusing on Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices that can help smallholders increase their productivity and resilience to climate change, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increase soil carbon sequestration.

Nordic Development Fund, through its Nordic Climate Facility, provides financing to pilot new ideas on climate adaptation, that can help also farmers in their activities. Watch the video from the project in  Ethiopia and get inspired by new technologies and their impact on agriculture.
