Adaptation Fund

Adaptation Fund The Adaptation Fund has committed US$ 1.6 billion to 226 concrete projects for the most vulnerable.
(1)

The Adaptation Fund finances projects and programmes that help vulnerable communities in developing countries adapt to climate change. Initiatives are based on country needs, views and priorities. The Adaptation Fund was established under the Kyoto Protocol of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and has committed US$ 783 million through 115 projects since 2010 to climate adaptation and

resilience activities. The Fund is financed in part by government and private donors, and also from a two percent share of proceeds of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) issued under the Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism projects.

Join us at London Climate Action Week 2026 for a timely discussion on how to unlock investment for climate adaptation.

On 24 June 2026, the Adaptation Fund, Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), NDC Partnership, Cadlas, and the Global Resilience Partnership are convening a side event on country-led programmatic approaches and country platforms for adaptation finance.

As countries advance National Adaptation Plans and NDCs, a persistent challenge remains: bridging the gap between planning and implementation. This session will explore how coordinated, country-driven frameworks can help build investment-ready pipelines, address risk barriers, and mobilize private finance at scale. It will also bring together public and private stakeholders to exchange perspectives and identify practical solutions.

📍 Bentley Systems, London

🌍 This World Environment Day, adaptation means working with nature.

Climate change is already affecting lives and livelihoods in vulnerable communities around the world. The Adaptation Fund supports communities with solutions like nature‑based solutions and ecosystem‑based adaptation, from restoring ecosystems to strengthening climate‑resilient livelihoods.

Because adapting with nature helps protect people, ecosystems, and the future we share. 🌱

In Mauritius, coral reef restoration is being driven by communities on the front lines of climate change.

Through an Adaptation Fund–supported project, local stakeholders—including fishers, conservation practitioners, and community members—are actively involved in restoring degraded coral reefs using nature‑based approaches. From establishing coral nurseries to monitoring reef health, the project places local knowledge and participation at the center of climate adaptation efforts.

By strengthening reefs that support coastal protection, fisheries, and tourism, community engagement is helping build long‑term resilience for Mauritius’ coastal ecosystems and livelihoods.

🎥 Watch how local action is helping reefs recover in a changing climate.

Learning about aquaponics is helping young South Africans prepare for a changing climate 🌱🐟

With Adaptation Fund support through , students are learning how aquaponics, a water‑efficient system that grows fish and crops together, can strengthen food security and reduce climate risks. By introducing these practices in schools, youth are gaining practical skills to become the next generation of sustainable farmers.

Partnerships that strengthen resilience. 🤝

When the private sector engages in climate adaptation, impact can scale. In Seychelles, partnerships with businesses, such as hotels, are supporting marine restoration efforts that protect coral reefs and the livelihoods that depend on them.

By working alongside local communities, national institutions, and practitioners, private sector partners are contributing resources and volunteer support, while helping raise awareness among visitors about the importance of protecting fragile ecosystems.

These collaborations show how public and private actors can work together to advance locally led adaptation and long‑term resilience.
