“…External factors that can include natural disasters, political conflicts, public health crises amongst others, impede the implementation of climate action initiatives as well. These unforeseen events shift the attention, financial resources, and effort away from the priorities related to climate (Mabuza & Mabuza, 2020).…”

Sustainable development has been considered as the global phenomena in every field of life. The United Nations developed a program to attain sustainability. This programme is a United Nations agency tasked help countries to eliminate poverty and achieve sustainable economic growth and human development. The UNDP emphasizes in promoting local capacity towards long-term self-sufficiency and prosperity. Therefore, this research aimed to analyse the effectiveness of UNDP climate action initiatives and outcome on local level. The study employs a research design involving the selection of previously published case studies from different regions worldwide, which highlights various climate-related challenges and the effectiveness of UNDP initiatives in addressing them. The data was collected from different sources, such as the World Bank’s official website and UNDP’s official website, and previously published studies were also utilized. Thematic analysis approach was applied to assess the implementation strategies and outcomes across different regions. The findings reveal similarities and differences in the implementation of UNDP climate action plans and the challenges countries face in executing these initiatives. Through thematic analysis and interpretation of results, the study provides valuable information for developing effective policies to address climate-related challenges. Additionally, the research also suggests directions for future studies. The thematic analysis showcases specific case studies, including renewable energy deployment in Pacific Island Nations, ecosystem restoration in the Sahel Region, climate-smart agriculture in Southeast Asia, and climate-resilient urban planning in Latin America. These cases illustrate UNDP’s commitment to promoting climate action and sustainable development through innovative projects and partnerships. This research contributes to understanding the effectiveness of UNDP’s climate action initiatives at the local level and informs future policy and programmatic efforts in this area.

“…This type of evaluation is based on data monitoring to create or reorient management plans or decisions (Ahn & Kim, 2019). Since the natural resources in a watershed are closely related, decision‐making in one part of the watershed will affect the other parts and their performance (Mabuza, 2020). Toward this, many approaches have been developed to assess watershed health.…”

Assessing the health and security of natural ecosystems is unavoidable to regulate and manage deterioration and prioritize management and conservation activities. As a result, the current study was conducted to assess the health and ecological security of the Galazchai Watershed in Oshnavieh Township, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran, utilizing criteria linked to various hydrologic, anthropogenic, and climatic aspects. In the conceptual pressure–state–response (PSR) method, 26 criteria with acceptable variance inflation factor and Durbin–Watson statistics were chosen. The Galazchai Watershed's ecology's health and security status and spatial differences were also chosen and analyzed at 17 subwatersheds. The contributions of the pressure (P), status (S), and reaction (R) indices to the watershed health index were 38.3, 30.1, and 31.6%, respectively, according to the findings. The health index for the watershed ranged from 0.388 to 0.688. Almost 64% of the watershed's area was in relatively healthy conditions. Additionally, the maximum and the minimum values of the ecological security index were 0.608 and 0.236, allocating 58% of the area to moderate ecological security. The northern part of the watershed had healthier and moderately desirable ecological security than the southern part, with unhealthy and relatively undesirable conditions. In this sense, the main problems of the study area were primarily related to anthropogenic factors followed by hydrologic ones. The procedure used in the current study based on health and ecological security status can be applied as a practical guideline by local managers for efficient and adaptive watershed management.
