Guide for adaptation and resilience finance

The Guide for Adaptation and Resilience Finance sets out what constitutes adaptation and resilience finance. It includes a practical roadmap for financing and over 100 investable activities, including climate-resilient crops, public hospital infrastructure investment, and mangrove conservation and replanting.

To mobilise finance for adaptation and resilience — and help investors, commercial banks, and other financial institutions consider these themes in financial decision-making — the investment potential needs to be understood and recognised. This Guide seeks to provide confidence to investors looking to allocate capital to adaptation projects, as well as to companies looking to raise capital for adaptation and resilience products, solutions, or other investment opportunities.

The Guide maps over 100 investable activities across adaptation and resilience, including: climate-resilient crops, vertical farming, natural flood protection, water conservation and efficiency measures, public hospital infrastructure investment, renewable energy storage solutions, and mangrove conservation and replanting. Indicators to assess the adaptation and resilience impact of a specific investment are also available in the document.

The investable activities are also available as an interactive list.
