It’s just over a month to go until COP30 and climate finance continues to underpin many UNFCCC negotiation tracks. Making progress on the quantity and quality of finance will be crucial for progressing the climate finance agenda of the coming years.

Working with communities to understand resilience gaps and opportunities ensures that solutions are locally led. Read our latest solutions brief to find out how the Philippine Red Cross is working with communities to increase healthcare continuity during floods: zcralliance.org/resources/it...

For rural communities in the Municipality of Mangatarem, the Philippines, distances to health centres can be significant. During and following hazard events, access can be even more difficult due to damaged roads and bridges, causing interruptions in vital health services for vulnerable groups.

Our new report represents the first detailed analysis of the private sectors potential to meet these adaptation needs and provides crucial evidence to inform #UNFCCC processes.

Read the report: zcralliance.org/resources/it...

Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance @zcralliance.bsky.social · Sep 8

According to @unep.org's Adaptation Gap report, US$300 billion per year at a minimum is needed to address the adaptation needs of developing countries. These needs are approximately ten times higher than current annual international public adaptation finance flows, indicating a large funding gap.

Calls for private #AdaptationFinance have never been louder but what has been missing to date is analysis and evidence of whether and in what way this is feasible.

Our new report provides a reality check on this.
