The investments required to protect developing countries from climate change are at least 10 times larger than international public finance flows, with an estimated gap of $194 billion to $366 billion per year. To help fill that gap, this project will study new approaches to private-sector investment. Focusing on smallholder farmers in East Africa, the team aims to help develop new financial instruments, including resilience credits, carbon credits with resilience co-benefits and resilience bonds, among others.
