This course will offer an overview of how financing typically takes place in different adaptation related projects and will form the basis for discussions about why finance is flowing towards adaptation projects in some cases whereas in other situations commercial adaptation investment is inhibited. The different perspectives of businesses, investors and policy makers on adaptation will be given. This will support the participants to reflect on appropriate policy interventions to facilitate adaptation and to identify funds from various sources available to implement required measures globally.
At the end of the course, the knowledge gained will be applied to a number of real world examples of adaptation projects.
