Adaptation Finance Tracking
This document discusses adaptation finance. It begins by defining adaptation and adaptation finance, noting that adaptation finance is context specific, dynamic, and not solely about providing money. It then discusses accountability and transparency efforts through the Adaptation Finance Accountability Initiative. The document reviews estimates of needed adaptation finance amounts and whether current funding is on track. It analyzes adaptation finance flows in Nepal, Philippines, Uganda, and Zambia based on five principles of good delivery: transparency, ownership, responsiveness, participation, and equity. The analysis finds room for improvement in meeting all five principles. The document concludes by outlining next steps for in-depth tracking of adaptation finance in selected districts and funds in each country.

- 1. Adaptation FINANCE Tracking …and answers toall your adaptation finance questions! Pieter Terpstra, WRI Adaptation Summer Brownbag Series, September 9th, 2013
- 2. Content • Defining AdaptationFinance – Context Specific – Dynamic – Not about finance • Accountability and Transparency Project – Country Results – Next Steps
- 4. What is Adaptationto Climate Change? Adaptation activates can fall along a continuum Addressing Drivers of Vulnerability Building Response Capacity Managing Climate Risk Programs focused on poverty reduction, health, diversification of livelihood strategies, etc. Developing networks, capacity building, research into farming practices, etc. Developing monitoring capacity, collecting climate data, executing risk assessments, etc. Vulnerability Focus Confronting Climate Change Improving flood defenses, reducing the risk of glacial lake outburst floods, etc. Impacts focus
- 5. What is AdaptationFinance? • Context Specific - Climate change impacts vary from place to place • Dynamic - what counts as effective adaptation in a specific context today may no longer count as effective adaptation 25 years from now.
- 6. What is AdaptationFinance? • It’s not about finance - Adaptation is about going beyond business-as-usual and incorporating the possible effects of climate change into the design of an activity. • But, deciding which part of “beyond businessas-usual” should count towards adaptation finance is difficult to determine. • For an example, see http://www.wri.org/blog/difficulty-definingadaptation-finance
- 7. How much dowe need? Organization UNFCCC Project Catalyst World Bank Amount Estimated $28-67 billion per year until 2030 $26-77 billion per year until 2030 $75-100 billion per year until 2050 Commitment in Copenhagen, 2009: ‘Mobilize $100 billion per year by 2020’ for adaptation and mitigation in vulnerable countries
- 8. Are we ontrack? • OECD commitments decreased from USD 8.5 billion in 2010 to USD 7.5 billion in 2011 • MDBs estimate an expenditure of approximately USD 4.5 billion in 2011 • Climate Funds pledges approximately USD 29 billion of which USD 1.5 billion for adaptation • Big question is how much funding was raised by countries through their national budget
- 9. The Issue • Localcommunities in vulnerable countries will feel the biggest impact of climate change • Reaching local communities with support is notoriously difficult How much adaptation funding is reaching vulnerable communities?
