Potential new climate change adaptation funding sources for disaster preparedness activities
Background paper:
This document describes potential new climate change adaptation funding sources for activities to help humanitarians support preparedness for climate risks, in particular extreme weather events. It is included within OCHA's activities supporting the implementation of Hyogo Framework for Action Priority 5 (disaster preparedness for effective response at all levels) and Priority 2 on early warning. It is intended to support OCHA Regional and Country Office efforts in assisting national governments and other partners to mobilize resources for preparedness activities by providing details of non-traditional, ‘non-humanitarian’ funding sources.
The document: (i) draws the climate funding landscape and how humanitarians fit in; (ii) enumerates potential funding sources for preparedness and risk reduction as part of adaptation efforts; (iii) gives some information and contact of funds with direct and indirect access for humanitarian actors; and (iv) introduces possible emerging sources for adaptation and preparedness activities.
