sNAPshot: Domestic public finance for implementation of NAPs Overview Brief II
Summary
The document outlines how developing countries can integrate climate adaptation into national budgeting and use domestic fiscal tools to fund resilience. It highlights the importance of coordinating between climate-sensitive sectors and finance ministries, using instruments like fuel taxes and green bonds, and implementing tracking systems to demonstrate country ownership and identify funding gaps.
Key insights
- Integrating adaptation into national budget cycles requires collaboration between ministries of climate-sensitive sectors and ministries of planning and finance to ensure adaptation priorities are reflected in medium-term expenditure frameworks (MTEF) and annual sector budgets.
- Togo is addressing the challenge of budget integration by creating a practical guidebook for planning officers in climate-sensitive line ministries to help them incorporate climate change into planning and budgeting steps.
- Governments can raise domestic adaptation funds through various fiscal instruments: Costa Rica uses fuel tax revenues for ecosystem-based adaptation; Indonesia reallocated USD 16 billion from fossil fuel subsidies to sectors like infrastructure and health; and Washington, D.C. issued USD 400 million in municipal green bonds for storm water tunnels.
- The Philippines utilizes the People’s Survival Fund (PSF), established in 2012, to provide approximately USD 20.6 million (PHP 1 billion) annually from the national budget to local government units and non-government organizations for adaptation projects.
- Tracking domestic adaptation finance is difficult because adaptation is often integrated into general development and sector planning without specific labels. Kenya has attempted to solve this by domesticating the Rio Markers used by the OECD to track climate-related finance.
