Financing Climate Adaptation Index

The Financing Climate Adaptation Index (FCAI) is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of climate vulnerability for nation states in order to improve the targeting and provision of climate change adaptation financing. The FCAI takes a data-informed approach, presenting both a high-level and detailed representation of a country’s climate and financial vulnerability. In addition to climate and financial vulnerability, this dashboard also provides an overview of governance considerations that may impact lending modalities or conditions. It is acknowledged that more evidence is needed to direct adaptation finance to the most climate-vulnerable countries. This index helps to further the understanding of climate vulnerability by highlighting the compounding effects of high climate risk and low access to capital while demarcating very high risk to help guide climate adaptation funding to those most in need, as well as to inform more effective adaptation and financing strategies. The full methodology is available for download below.
