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

This research paper section provides a detailed overview of climate finance flows to Papua New Guinea, detailing grant allocations between 2010 and 2014 and multilateral fund activities from 2015 to 2016.

• Between 2010 and 2014, Papua New Guinea received US$41.4 million in grant or grant-equivalent finance specifically for climate change objectives. Additionally, US$147.4 million in Official Development Assistance (ODA) for other objectives was reported as having climate change co-benefits.
• Of the US$41.4 million allocated for primary climate objectives, the majority (60.6% or US$25.1 million) supported mitigation, while 34.9% (US$14.4 million) was for adaptation, and 4.6% (US$1.9 million) addressed both.
• The primary sources of climate finance for Papua New Guinea were the European Union, Japan, Australia, and the Adaptation Fund. Australia and Japan focused largely on environmental policy, the EU on forestry education and training, and the Adaptation Fund on flood prevention and control.
• Between January 2015 and September 2016, Papua New Guinea received further allocations from multilateral funds: US$25 million from the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience for resilience, fishery ecosystems, food security, and coastal infrastructure; US$2.84 million from the Global Environment Facility for renewable energy and energy efficiency; and a US$3.8 million REDD readiness preparation grant from the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility.
