Mauritania is developing a climate-linked debt swap programme to address financial and environmental challenges. The initiative aims to reduce debt burdens while funding sustainable development projects. Climate change has significantly impacted Mauritania’s ecosystems and livelihoods. This programme aligns with global efforts to integrate climate action into financial systems. It is expected to support projects related to renewable energy and conservation. The government is working with international partners to design the framework. Such financial mechanisms can provide relief for developing economies. Effective implementation will require transparency and accountability. The initiative also highlights the link between environmental and economic stability. Mauritania is positioning itself as a participant in innovative climate financing solutions.

Prayer Points:

• Pray for wisdom in stewardship of natural resources and environmental protection (Genesis 2:15).

• Pray for financial stability and responsible governance (Proverbs 11:14).
