Climate Adaptation, Resilience, and Financial Inclusion: A New Agenda

Climate Adaptation, Resilience, and Financial Inclusion: A New Agenda

November 07, 2023

Highlights:

• Financial inclusion should be a cornerstone of action on climate adaptation, since it is a unique enabler of grass-roots climate adaptation and a necessity for a just transition.
• However financial services currently do not live up to their potential for supporting climate adaptation, while climate change is undermining progress on financial inclusion.
• CGAP is proposing a new agenda for collaboration between financial inclusion and climate adaptation practitioners.
