GEF Unveils $20m Investment In Climate Adaption Innovators

GEF Unveils $20m Investment In Climate Adaption Innovators
SHARE

As funding the climate challenge takes center stage at COP29 in Azerbaijan, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) has announced the latest winners of its Challenge Program for Adaptation Innovation, with $20 million in grants awarded to projects that will reimagine climate adaptation finance.

From initiatives to enhance the adaptive capacity of women entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector through financial inclusion, to scaling up traditional fire management techniques for resilient ecosystems services through carbon credit generation, crowdfunding climate-smart loans, developing a virtual green bank for adaptation, and kickstarting international markets for resilience-building bonds, the 13 award-winning projects all aim to test and scale up vital financial innovations.

The GEF-backed Challenge Program for Adaptation Innovation aims to pilot and de-risk new approaches to adaptation funding, leveraging donor funding to create the conditions for comprehensive private sector engagement in overcoming the shared challenges of climate change.

“Adapting to climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time, but it also offers an undeniable opportunity. By seeding these new approaches to climate adaptation funding, we are enabling the development of innovative technologies, while reducing risk and providing the conditions needed to open financial flows and enable new investors and sectors to take action,” Carlos Manuel Rodríguez, GEF CEO and Chairperson said.

Selected from well over 100 proponents from around the globe, the latest tranche of winners will bring GEF investments in the Challenge Program to over $40 million across 32 projects in implementation or development, with an additional $40 million to be invested in the period to 2026.

The teams behind each of the winning proposals announced at COP29 will be invited to further develop and implement their concept in collaboration with one of GEF’s 18 agency partners.

Financing for the Challenge Program comes from the GEF’s two dedicated climate adaptation funds – the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) and the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF). The LDCF is the only multilateral climate fund designed to address the unique climate adaptation needs of Least Developed Countries; while the SCCF is focused on targeting the adaptation priorities of Small Island Developing States as well as catalyzing innovation, technology transfer, and private sector engagement. Together the two funds have provided approximately $2.5 billion in grant financing and mobilized an additional $14.3 billion from other sources, which is expected to reduce the vulnerability of 84 million people in 118 countries since their inception in 2001.
