Needs-based Finance Project

Mandate

The COP requests the secretariat, in collaboration with the operating entities of the Financial Mechanism, United Nations agencies and bilateral, regional and other multilateral channels, to explore ways and means to assist developing country Parties in assessing their needs and priorities, in a country-driven manner, including technological and capacity-building needs, and in translating climate finance needs into action.

In response to these COP mandates, the UN Climate Change secretariat established the Needs-based Finance (NBF) project in 2017. The project facilitates the collaboration with partners to support the access and mobilization of climate finance. It focuses on implementing priority mitigation and adaptation measures identified by developing countries, in line with their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), national adaptation plans, and other relevant policies.

Approach

The NBF project is being implemented at the regional or national level of countries. The approach consists of three phases:

Credit: UNFCCC

Phase 1: Technical assessment of climate finance needs and priorities

Assessment of climate finance needs and priorities across sectors, based on official communications to the UNFCCC (NDCs, NCs, NAPs, BURs, etc.) and national policies, plans, and programs for each country in the region.
Assessment of climate finance flows from international, regional, and domestic sources, mapping channels, instruments, and providers for each country in the region.
Identification of barriers to accessing and mobilizing climate finance, and identification of climate finance gaps for the region.
Incorporation of feedback on the draft technical assessment of climate finance needs and priorities through engagement with all country focal points and experts.

Phase 2: Climate Finance Mobilization and Access Strategy

Based on the needs, flows, barriers, and gaps identified in the technical assessment, facilitate the development by countries of a Climate Finance Access and Mobilization Strategy for the region.
Incorporation of feedback on the draft technical assessment of climate finance needs and priorities through engagement with all country focal points and experts.
Validation and endorsement of the technical assessment and Climate Finance Mobilization and Access Strategy at the region's highest political level.

Phase 3: Implementation of priorities

Conduct training jointly with all Financial Mechanism entities (GEF, GCF, AF, etc.) to enhance countries' understanding of project development and submission requirements, aligning them with the standards of various funding institutions.
Development of a regional pipeline of climate finance projects for all countries that establishes a consensus on regional climate finance priorities and delivers project concepts for further development by selected implementation partners.
UNFCCC exit and hand over the regional project pipeline to potential investors and sponsors in an investment forum organized to present and match projects with financial opportunities to accelerate implementation, advancing the Climate Finance Mobilization and Access Strategy.

Thematic Activities

Climate Finance for LDCs and SIDS Facing Conflict and Severe Humanitarian Needs (FINCOAHN)

Countries and their communities affected by conflict and severe humanitarian needs are among the most vulnerable to climate change, yet they face some of the highest barriers to accessing climate finance.

To support this effort, under the NBF Project the secretariat in collaboration with the g7+ Secretariat (also representing the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy (AGDA) and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI)), and the World Food Programme (WFP), is facilitating support for five countries: Chad, Papua New Guinea, the Republic of South Sudan, Timor-Leste and Yemen. This NBF activity aims to help these countries develop tailored strategies to access the climate finance they need to build resilience and adapt to the growing impacts of climate change.

National Activities

Antigua and Barbuda

In Antigua and Barbuda, the NBF project was implemented by the Department of Environment, as the national focal point for climate change, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Corporate Governance.

The project resulted in a report that aims to provide an assessment and overview of Antigua and Barbuda’s public and private finance flows relevant to climate change. In doing so, it identifies climate-related finance within budget spending and international climate finance receipts. It considers how private actors have engaged with, or are affected by, climate change and surveys the tools available to the Government to make all finance flows more consistent with climate actions.

The report acts as a springboard for Antigua and Barbuda, and ongoing projects will continue to refine the methods within, and complement the results of, this report.

Project timeframe: May 2019 – July 2020

Project report: Assessment and Overview of Climate Finance Flows: Antigua And Barbuda 2014–2017

Belize

The NBF project activities in Belize are being carried out by the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management.

The UNFCCC secretariat has collaborated with the Government of Belize on the NBF project resulting in two technical reports:

Multilateral Climate Finance in Support of Belize' NDC Implementation (May 2021)

Potential Investment from the Private Sector for Climate Finance in Belize (April 2021)

These are taken up as technical input to a climate finance strategy developed by the Government.

Cuba

The NBF activity in Cuba is being carried out with the Cuban Ministry for Science, Technology, and Environment, in close consultation with other government institutions and national experts. A technical assessment developed shows that Cuba received USD 120 million in international climate finance between 2002 and 2018, primarily for mitigation projects, despite adaptation being defined as a priority in its nationally determined contribution (NDC). Challenges faced by Cuba in accessing climate finance include a lack of financial institutions and project development capacity and expertise, as well as integrating climate change in development plans. A Climate Finance Strategy for the country is being developed to in order to finance the implementation of the country’s NDC and its State Plan for Confronting Climate Change known as “Tarea Vida”.

Dominican Republic

The NBF activity in the Dominican Republic is being carried out with the National Council for Climate Change and Clean Development Mechanism, Dominican Republic. An assessment of climate finance flows has shown that international climate finance provided to the country has fluctuated between USD 54 million and 250 million per year (2014-2017). Mitigation activities in the energy, industry and agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors remain a high priority, as do adaptation needs in the water, biodiversity, human settlement and infrastructure sectors. These initial findings from the technical assessment developed with the help of experts in the region form the basis for the climate finance strategy under development, which will be aligned with national policies and programmes.

Honduras

The NBF activity in Honduras is being carried out with the Presidential Office for Climate Change (Clima+). A climate finance assessment has shown that climate finance varied between USD 44 million and 253 million per year (2015 - 2019) and includes a compilation and analysis of prioritized mitigation and adaptation actions as well as information on relevant institutions and existing tools and resources for financing NDC implementation. Based on the findings of the assessment, a toolbox of strategic actions is being developed to help the design of the National Climate Finance Strategy. A series of virtual workshops have been held to build capacity to improve access and to mobilize climate finance.

Workshops & Events

Through a party-led approach, the NBF project facilitates regional validation workshops to review and collect feedback of the project outputs such as the Climate Finance Technical Assessments and Climate Finance Access and Mobilization Strategies, contributing to a better understanding of regional needs, sources, available instruments, barriers and enabling environments for climate finance.

Furthermore, regional climate finance training workshops are conducted in collaboration with the operating entities of the financial mechanism (GEF, GCF and AF) to enable capacity building through peer-to-peer learning process. Participants benefit from interactive sessions designed to provide regional experts with training and valuable insights into project development, structuring, and submission as required by different funds and institutions. Through a hands-on approach, attendees receive feedback, clarification, and advice on project development directly from representatives of climate funds, MDBs, and other financial entities.
