According to UNEP’s latest Adaptation Gap Report, estimated annual adaptation finance needs reach US$51 billion in Sub-Saharan Africa and US$23 billion in the Middle East and North Africa.
To help close this gap, this session will examine how banks, insurers, development finance institutions, and investors operating across Africa and the Middle East can use the Adaptation and Resilience Impact Measurement Toolkit. The discussion will focus on how the toolkit can help strengthen the business case for adaptation finance, improve transparency around adaptation outcomes, and support better decision-making in areas such as risk management, investment strategies, and product innovation.
The webinar, delivered as part of the Climate Adaptation Innovation and Learning project, will feature guest speakers from financial institutions and experts across Africa and the Middle East, who will share insights on:
- The growing importance of adaptation finance in Africa and the Middle East
- How financial institutions can measure and demonstrate resilience outcomes
- Practical examples of applying impact metrics to adaptation investments
Participants will also receive a guided overview of the toolkit, including its indicator library, templates, and flexible modules designed for banks, insurers, investors, and development finance institutions. Join this webinar to find out how financial institutions can help mobilize the trillions needed for adaptation and resilience.
The Climate Adaptation Innovation and Learning project is financed by the Global Environment Facility and implemented by UNIDO, in partnership with Climate KIC, the Global Adaptation and Resilience Investment Working Group, and UNEP FI. We are developing a unique knowledge platform for climate adaptation–a hub to drive innovation and boost private sector engagement.
