The technical meeting discussed financing adaptation priorities in countries. The Green Climate Fund has approved 26 adaptation project proposals worth $69 million and has 10 more in the final approval stages worth an additional $23 million. The Green Climate Fund portfolio allocates funding equally between adaptation and mitigation projects, with at least 50% of adaptation funds going to vulnerable countries. The meeting involved panels on maximizing climate finance synergies, private sector adaptation investment opportunities, the impact of adaptation investments on resilience and risk reduction, and sectoral roundtables on successful adaptation projects.
