Breaking the cycle. Practical solutions to unlock climate finance for fragile states
Abstract
Strategic will:
- Perceived risk in FCS is too high for climate funders
- Funders’ risk aversion deprioritizes vulnerable communities in less-secure areas from support
- Climate finance is delivered through state authorities, weakening delivery in non-state controlled areas
- Funders lack long-term strategies and organizational structures to manage compound climate–conflict risks
- Funders’ climate and conflict teams are siloed, preventing operational collaboration
