Djibouti has initiated a Sovereign Carbon Initiative in 2023 to address climate change by aiming for a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The initiative has financed approximately 80 projects through a carbon emissions fund, providing a potential model for other financially constrained countries. A significant project included the delivery of water trucks and solar-powered desalination units to the Tadjourah region, responding to severe drought conditions that threatened to displace thousands of residents in need of water.
