Adaptation Fund
As of: April 2021
The Adaptation Fund was established under the Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and has provided 720 million US-Dollar since 2010 for adaptation to the impacts of climate change and resilience activities, including support for 100 specific adaptation projects. In some parts of the world, climate change has already contributed to the deterioration of food security, reduced the predictable availability of fresh water and exacerbated the spread of disease and other threats to human health. Supporting the most vulnerable countries and people is an increasing challenge and a necessity for the international community, especially because climate adaptation requires significant resources beyond what is already needed to achieve international development goals.
