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

Between 2010 and 2014, Vanuatu received US$49.4 million in grant-equivalent finance specifically targeting climate change, with a majority supporting mitigation. The primary sources of this funding were the Global Environment Facility, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates, focusing on environmental policy, renewables, and disaster preparedness. Additionally, between January 2015 and September 2016, Vanuatu received further allocations from the Green Climate Fund, the LDCF, and the Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program.

• From 2010 to 2014, Vanuatu was allocated US$49.4 million in grant or grant-equivalent finance for activities primarily targeting climate change objectives. During the same period, an additional US$148.6 million in Official Development Assistance (ODA) for other objectives was reported as having climate change co-benefits.
• Of the US$49.4 million specifically targeting climate change, 57.2% (US$28.2 million) was dedicated to mitigation, 39.9% (US$19.7 million) to adaptation, and 2.9% (US$1.4 million) to both objectives.
• The primary sources of climate finance for Vanuatu were the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), including its Trust Fund and Least Developed Countries Fund. The most funded sectors were renewables, environmental policy, and disaster prevention and preparedness.
• Between January 2015 and September 2016, Vanuatu received additional funding from multilateral climate funds: US$0.30 million from the Green Climate Fund for readiness, US$5.65 million from the LDCF for urban area protection, and a US$7 million energy access grant from the Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program for Low Income Countries (SREP).
