CLIMATE FINANCE IN THE PACIFIC: AN OVERVIEW OF FLOWS TO THE REGION

Between 2010 and 2014, Kiribati received US$30.5 million in grant-equivalent finance specifically targeting climate change objectives, with a majority supporting mitigation. An additional US$81.7 million in ODA provided climate co-benefits. The primary contributors were Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Global Environment Facility, with funding concentrated in environmental policy and solar energy.

• From 2010 to 2014, Kiribati was allocated US$30.5 million in grant or grant-equivalent finance for activities primarily targeting climate change. Additionally, US$81.7 million in Official Development Assistance (ODA) targeting other objectives was reported as having climate change co-benefits.
• Of the US$30.5 million specifically for climate change, the largest portion (52.1% or US$15.9 million) supported mitigation, followed by adaptation at 43.3% (US$13.2 million), while 4.5% (US$1.4 million) targeted both.
• The primary sources of climate finance for Kiribati were Australia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), including its Trust Fund and the Least Developed Countries Fund. Funding from Australia and the GEF focused mainly on "environmental policy", while the UAE's contributions were concentrated on solar energy.
