Adaptation Finance Strategy Guideline

Drawing on country experiences, proven business models and financing approaches, and capacity-building lessons, the Adaptation Finance Strategy Guideline highlights pathways to strengthen systems, align finance with national priorities and scale up investment.  

The Guideline is structured around four phases: data collection and engagement, investment prioritization, mapping and matching financing needs and sources, and operational planning and coordination to formulate the guideline. The Guideline’s modular structure allows governments, development partners and the private sector to collaborate effectively to promote national, sub-national or sectoral interventions based on different capacities and contexts from both the demand for and supply of adaptation finance.  

This guideline, developed by UNDP’s Adaptation team and Climate Finance Network, with financial support from UK government’s flagship Climate Action for a Resilient Asia (CARA) programme and the Government of Sweden through Sida, provides a practical, country-driven framework to translate adaptation priorities in countries’ National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) into investable strategies and financial flows.
