3. 2. Beyond Climate Finance Pledges: A Critical Exploration of Adaptation Finance Allocation and Access to Sudan

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Lina Ahmed; [2022]
   Keywords : climate change; adaptation finance; vulnerability; allocation; access; Sudan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Climate adaptation finance is crucial, particularly for the most vulnerable countries, as these countries often face the worst impacts and are the least capable of adapting. While adaptation finance mobilization has increased over the last years, little has actually been channelled to the most vulnerable countries, with no concrete evidence of the prioritization of the most vulnerable countries in allocation.
