Tracking Adaptation Finance

A guide by the World Resources Institute providing a five-step methodology for civil society organizations (CSOs) to track climate change adaptation finance flows to improve accountability and inform advocacy.

• The guide outlines a five-step process for civil society organizations to track adaptation finance: analyzing the national adaptation context, compiling and analyzing international finance flows, mapping funding flows, setting tracking objectives and selecting funds for national tracking, and designing local tracking tools.
• CSOs can use data gathered from tracking adaptation finance and assessing institutional roles to develop evidence-based advocacy strategies and influence governance. Specific applications include helping vulnerable communities realize rights, educating citizens, pressing governments to improve climate change efforts, holding donors and governments accountable, and supporting government oversight agencies.
