Who takes the heat? Untold stories of climate crisis in the Horn of Africa and Mozambique

This brief focuses on the extreme weather and humanitarian crises that have hit the Horn of Africa and Mozambique. It shows how the countries that have done little to fuel the climate crisis already face its worst impacts. The brief details how these countries are made more vulnerable to climate shocks because rich countries have failed to deliver on their promises of finance for adaptation. It also explores the existing problems – including a growing debt crisis, poverty and inequality – that make the poorest countries and communities increasingly vulnerable in a changing climate.
