Inclusive Climate Finance for Vulnerable Communities in the Asia-Pacific (ICCAP)

The ICCAP project (2024-2029) seeks to enhance resilience in Asia-Pacific by scaling green financial products for rural smallholders and marginalised groups. It focuses on policy analysis, capacity building for financial service providers, and the creation of a Regional Adaptation Investment Facility (RAIF) to mobilise private capital. The project targets 14,000 direct beneficiaries across Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Nepal, and Fiji, with a goal of catalysing 250 million EUR for climate adaptation.

• The ICCAP project aims to catalyse 250 million EUR of public and private finance for climate adaptation and reach 14,000 direct beneficiaries across six countries, with a focus on women, Indigenous Peoples, and the rural poor.
• The project implements several key interventions to improve climate finance access, including the establishment of the Regional Adaptation Investment Facility (RAIF) to channel capital through financial service providers (FSPs) using instruments such as green bonds, hedging, and blended finance.
• ICCAP provides technical assistance to at least 14 financial service providers across six countries to help them design and scale inclusive green credit products that align with sustainability principles and national sustainability goals.
• The project utilizes Multi-stakeholder Action Labs (MALs) to co-create bankable adaptation solutions through a participatory approach involving marginalised groups, technical experts, and policymakers.
• Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) is mainstreamed across all activities through intersectional analysis and the development of GESI toolkits to address the root causes of financial exclusion.
