Adaptation Finance and The Multilateral Development Banks: From Concepts to Practice

The intention of this work is to develop a framework for and examples of meaningful accounting of climate spending that is transparent, easy to understand, responsive to the circumstances of poor countries and that can be adopted by MDBs. This report aims to provide MDBs with concrete, practical, actionable advice on moving from concepts to meaningful practice of climate adaptation, with the understanding that poor countries will need resources not just to adapt to immediate climate and weather events but also more broadly to build resilience.
