Scaling investment through country-led finance coalitions and coordination mechanisms

Adaptation finance continues to stall before it reaches those who need it most. This session moves beyond the diagnosis of systemic barriers to scale adaptation finance and promotes a discussion anchored on concrete solutions led by developing countries.

Structured around showcasing and debating nationally-driven delivery mechanisms for adaptation finance, the session draws on country case studies, including:

• An innovative public-private finance mechanism channelling investment into climate-resilient agriculture in Colombia
• A programme led by the National Treasury of Brazil designed to de-risk private and international investment in climate-resilient infrastructure and ecosystem restoration, and
• A nationally owned country platform coordinating climate and development finance at scale. 

Each case is presented by country practitioners who explore how these mechanisms can provide solutions to structural barriers to investment in adaptation and resilience.

The session closes with a concrete call to action on simplifying access processes and strengthening country-led coordination where adaptation is needed most.
