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

Between 2010 and 2014, Papua New Guinea received US$41.4 million in grant-equivalent finance specifically for climate change, with a majority (60.6%) supporting mitigation. An additional US$147.4 million in ODA provided climate co-benefits. Major donors included Australia, Japan, the European Union, and the Adaptation Fund. From January 2015 to September 2016, further allocations were made via the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (US$25 million), the Global Environment Facility (US$2.84 million), and the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (US$3.8 million).

• From 2010 to 2014, Papua New Guinea was allocated US$41.4 million in grant or grant-equivalent finance for activities primarily targeting climate change, while another US$147.4 million in ODA for other objectives was reported as having climate change co-benefits.
• Of the US$41.4 million specifically for climate change objectives (2010–2014), the majority was directed toward mitigation (60.6% or US$25.1 million), followed by adaptation (34.9% or US$14.4 million), and a small portion targeting both (4.6% or US$1.9 million).
• The primary sources of climate finance for Papua New Guinea were the Adaptation Fund, the European Union, Japan, and Australia. These donors focused on specific areas: Australia and Japan 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 additional funding from multilateral climate 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 grant from the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility.
