Understanding and increasing finance for climate adaptation in developing countries

This report explores the current state of finance
for climate adaptation and proposes practical, near
term solutions to both fill in knowledge gaps and to
increase investment. While many of the suggestions
can also be applied in developed countries, which often
face similar challenges in measuring and deploying
adaptation finance, the focus of the report and selected
examples highlight the role for developing country
national governments and stakeholders, such as
development finance institutions, local governments,
and civil society organizations including academic
institutions in supporting increased knowledge and
investment in adaptation. The report benefits from
discussions held during three adaptation finance
focused workshops organized by CPI and adelphi in 2018
to present and discuss preliminary findings of this study.
