Inclusive Green Finance in Asia Pacific

Smallholder farmers and vulnerable communities in Asia-Pacific countries severely threatened by climate change need needs-based financial support. The project will develop sustainable financial products that focus on vulnerable rural communities and are aligned with NDC priorities and national frameworks. In addition, a regional financing programme will mobilise private funds through the capital markets in line with the objectives of international institutional investors. The proposed financing mechanisms complement existing strategies to finance national adaptation plans with the support of public/private financial institutions. The project follows a three-tiered capacity building approach focusing on vulnerable communities, financial institutions, and financial policy makers and regulators.
