Kiribati climate change and disaster risk finance assessment: Final report

Funding to support developing countries taking action on climate change and responding to reduce exposure to disaster risk is projected to dramatically increase in the coming years. However, this increase in opportunities is being matched by an equally dramatic increase in complexity for access. The range of sources, each with their own set of rules and regulations, is often difficult to navigate, confusing and requires significant investment of a country’s limited resources to access and manage.

The purpose of the national climate change and disaster risk finance assessment is to assist the Government of Kiribati to make informed decisions on measures to improve access to, and management of, climate change and disaster risk resources. It has been undertaken in response to a request from the Government of Kiribati, through the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MFED).
