Climate Initiative (IKI)

Implemented by IUCN and UNEP, the Global EbA Fund (GEBAF) is a quickly deployable mechanism for supporting innovative approaches to EbA. GEBAF will be structured to support catalytic initiatives to help to overcome identified barriers to upscaling EbA. Furthermore, it is expected that GEBAF will address the gaps in knowledge and planning for EbA, as well as to increase access to public and private funding for catalytic adaptation interventions. The project will prioritize filling in resourcing and knowledge gaps with a broad thematic focus on innovation and urgency, thus encouraging creative solutions and partnerships among funding applicants and the wider EbA community. By supporting catalytic interventions, GEBAF will address research gaps, pilot innovative EbA approaches, engage in strategic EbA policy mainstreaming, and incentivise innovative finance mechanisms and private sector EbA investment. The GEBAF will leverage relevant partnerships and networks including FEBA, the Global Adaptation Network (GAN), and the Global Commission on Adaptation (GCA).
