The countries of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)—Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda—bear little historic responsibility for climate change, but are greatly exposed to its impacts. This report provides a detailed, regional-level analysis of the climate finance flowing to the region, as well as its intersections with debt, agriculture, gender and humanitarian financing. 

The findings of the report demonstrate that climate finance flows remain inadequate to address the urgent needs of countries in the IGAD region, especially those that are fragile and affected by conflict. This comes as the impacts of the climate crisis continue to escalate, worsening poverty, hunger and inequality in the region. 

That the countries of the IGAD region have contributed little to climate change yet bear the brunt of its impact while climate finance flowing to the region in its current state is not adequate to redress this imbalance is fundamentally unjust. Climate finance is not about charity. It’s about justice.
