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

Between 2010 and 2014, Samoa received US$98.2 million in grant-equivalent finance specifically targeting climate change, with 68.5% dedicated to adaptation and 30% to mitigation. The largest funding sources were the Climate Investment Funds and the Global Environment Facility, with primary sectoral allocations going toward environmental policy, renewable energy, and road transport. Additionally, Samoa was allocated US$6.1 million from the Global Environment Facility between January 2015 and September 2016 for renewable energy system improvements.

• From 2010 to 2014, Samoa was allocated US$98.2 million in grant or grant-equivalent finance for climate change objectives, while an additional US$55.9 million in ODA for other objectives provided climate change co-benefits.
• Of the US$98.2 million in primary climate finance allocated to Samoa between 2010 and 2014, the majority (68.5% or US$67.2 million) supported adaptation, 30% (US$29.5 million) supported mitigation, and 1.5% (US$1.5 million) targeted both.
• The primary sources of climate finance for Samoa included the Climate Investment Funds and the Global Environment Facility, followed by New Zealand, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates, with additional grants from the Adaptation Fund.
• The sectors receiving the highest allocations of climate finance in Samoa were environmental policy, renewable energy (including wind and solar), road transport, and multi-sector aid, followed by water policy and disaster prevention and preparedness.
• Between January 2015 and September 2016, the Global Environment Facility allocated US$6.1 million to Samoa for a project aimed at improving the reliability and performance of renewable energy systems.
