Conflict-affected countries are vulnerable to climate change & receive too little #ClimateFinance. A new @SIPRIorg report shows that these countries receive a disproportionately low amount of climate finance per capita, making adaptation even harder. But there is more 🧡

It’s essential to recognize that dam resistance in Myanmar is not a past issue; these projects are still very much alive, with military regime and hydropower companies biding their time. However, ongoing armed conflicts at both dam sites have intensified since the coup 🧡7/n
