Why adaptation finance in fragile states remains stuck

Fragile and conflict-affected states sit at the frontline of ClimateRisk, yet continue to receive some of the lowest levels of AdaptationFinance globally. Our latest article, ‘Beyond Emergency Aid: Climate Adaptation Funding in Fragile States’, explores why the financing system still struggles to respond at scale. Today, short-term emergency aid dominates, but this is not designed to support the long-term resilience initiatives these countries urgently need. Key challenges include:   • Risk-averse capital that avoids fragile contexts despite clear ClimateSecurity benefits. • Fragmented and siloed funding architectures that slow down coordinated action. • Short funding cycles that prioritise crisis response over sustained resilience building. But there are solutions. Innovative tools – from guarantees to crisis modifiers and multi-year flexible financing – can help unlock the adaptation finance required to shift from reactive support to lasting stability.  We want to hear from you:   What is the most significant barrier you see to scaling ClimateAdaptation in fragile settings?
