Decades of conflict and violence, underinvestment in critical infrastructure and economic challenges have weakened the country’s capacity to tackle the growing threats posed by climate hazards. Despite the urgent need for adaptation strategies, Afghanistan's involvement in key international forums like the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has been limited, hindering access to critical global climate funding. Consequently, the escalating impact of climate change has exacerbated the country’s continuing humanitarian challenges.
