This report analyses current trends of adaptation finance provided and mobilised by
developed countries for developing countries. It explores potential action areas for
international providers to scale up funding for climate change adaptation, including
by unlocking the potential of the private sector. The analysis is anchored in the
context of the USD 100 billion climate finance goal, initially set for 2020 and extended
to 2025, while also providing insights to the broader and longer-term objective of
supporting developing countries’ ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate
change.
