Pacific climate finance

This Stockholm Environment Institute working paper analyzes climate finance flows to 15 Pacific Island states between 2010 and 2014, utilizing data reported to the OECD Development Assistance Committee.

• Between 2010 and 2014, 748 million USD in climate-targeted finance was committed to 15 Pacific countries, with the vast majority provided as grants. The funding was split between adaptation (approximately 59%), mitigation (36%), and a combination of both (5%).
• Bilateral channels provided about 72% of the finance. Among multilateral sources, the Global Environment Facility (including the GEF Trust Fund and the Least Developed Countries Fund) was the primary source through 2014, although the Green Climate Fund and the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience provided several large allocations starting in 2015.
• The majority of climate finance (86%) is delivered via project-based support, with direct budget support being rare. The largest portion of funding by sector has been used to establish an "enabling environment".
