Scaling adaptation finance: what works in LDCs and SIDS

Time

2-3.15pm BST

About

Scaling adaptation finance is an urgent priority for climate-vulnerable countries – particularly least developed countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Yet access remains complex, fragmented and insufficient to meet growing needs to accelerate and scale effective, equitable adaptation finance.

This webinar brings together new evidence and real-world experience to explore what is working – and what needs to change.

Drawing on a compendium of recently published case studies, which examines four in-depth country examples, and policy analysis from the Climate and Development Ministerial (C&DM) and the NDC Partnership, the session will highlight practical, country-led approaches to unlocking and scaling adaptation finance.

Participants will gain insights from country experiences on accessing and scaling finance, including lessons on moving from fragmented projects to more programmatic approaches. The discussion will highlight practical examples of financing innovation and institutional enablers, while also addressing persistent barriers and how these can be overcome.

The session will combine short presentations with interactive discussion and a question-and-answer session, creating space for peer learning across policymakers, practitioners and partners.

This webinar is ideal for participating policymakers, practitioners, development partners and anyone working on climate finance, adaptation and country-led planning.

This event is hosted by the Climate and Development Ministerial, in collaboration with the NDC Partnership and its Center for Access to Climate Finance.
