A new online toolbox created by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations shows how climate adaptation can be funded. NextGreen contributed to the information sheets about finance options and constructions and combining policy goals.
The aim of the toolbox is to bring together all the information available on funding climate adaptation and to make this information easier to access.
Led by the ORRAA and launched in partnership with the Swiss Re Foundation and the United Kingdom’s Blue Planet Fund (BPF), the Ocean Resilience Innovation Challenge is calling for locally-led solutions designed to drive investment in marine and coastal nature, and reduce ocean risk for the people who depend on it.
The deadline for submissions is 23:59 GMT on 17 December 2021.
Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) led by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) pledged to mainstream nature across their policies and to significantly boost nature finance for member countries. The banks' joint statement "Nature, People, and Planet" commits support for countries to define and enact sustainable strategies.
Just days ahead of the start of COP26, ORRAA launched the #BackBlue Ocean Finance Commitment. The United Nations-backed Commitment – which is the first of its kind to focus on the Ocean – is designed to incorporate the Ocean in finance and insurance decisions, especially with its importance in the fight against climate change.
Leading financial institutions including AXA, Willis Towers Watson and Palladium are the first to sign up with more expected to add their signatures over the coming weeks.
The initiative is also being backed by the UN Race to Resilience, the World Economic Forum, Friends of Ocean Action, the IUCN and UNEPFI.
