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

Between 2010 and 2014, the Solomon Islands received US$42.4 million in grant-equivalent finance specifically targeting climate change, with a primary focus on adaptation. Major contributors included the Global Environment Facility, Japan, and the Adaptation Fund, with funding directed toward disaster prevention, forestry, and water policy. Additionally, the country received US$6.70 million for solar power development between 2015 and 2016.

• From 2010 to 2014, the Solomon Islands was allocated US$42.4 million in grant or grant-equivalent finance for climate change objectives. An additional US$111 million in Official Development Assistance (ODA) for other objectives was reported as having climate change co-benefits.
• Of the finance specifically targeting climate change between 2010 and 2014, adaptation received the largest share at 62.3% (US$26.4 million), followed by mitigation at 35.9% (US$15.2 million), and 1.8% (US$0.8 million) targeting both.
• The primary sources of climate finance for the Solomon Islands were the Adaptation Fund, Japan, and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which includes the Least Developed Countries Fund. Funding was primarily directed toward water policy, forestry policy, food security, and disaster prevention and preparedness.
• Between January 2015 and September 2016, the Solomon Islands received an allocation of US$6.70 million from the Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program for Low Income Countries (SREP) specifically for the development of solar power.
