Background

Climate finance refers to funding channelled by national, regional and international organisations for climate change mitigation and adaptation projects and programs.

The Climate Finance Roadmap 2016-2020 was developed in 2016 and builds off discussions during UNFCCC COP22, the 1st Climate Finance Forum in Port Vila, and other high-level stakeholder consultations. It was endorsed by the National Advisory Board on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction (NAB) in April 2017.

The purpose of the roadmap is to better guide the Government in mobilising climate finance to address national priorities. The roadmap will focus on increasing access to climate finance, building capacity at all levels of society to adapt to the impacts of climate change, and enhancing coordination between the Government and other stakeholders, such as development partners and the private sector.

Objectives

The six policy objectives of the Climate Finance Roadmap are as follows:
1.    Access to Climate Change Finance: Vanuatu has access to direct and indirect new sources of climate and disaster finances to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change
