4 4 Mitigation and Adaptation: Complementary Risk Management Strategies or Two Sides of the Same Coins? Cost of abatement (marginal cost) rises Benefit of abatement (marginal benefit) falls Optimal abatement path necessary Economically optimal timing

5 5 Estimated costs of adapting to climate change Assessment byAnnual cost $ bnIn UNDP (2007)862015 UNFCCC (2007)28-672030 World Bank (2006)9-412008 Oxfam (2007)>502008 Stern Review (2006)4-372008 20-40% of ODA and concessional finance are subject to CC risks; Cost of addressing this risk would be $1-8billion/year Source: World Resources Institute, 2007

6 6 Catalyzing Environmental Finance Global Environment Trust Funds GEF Trust Fund Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund SCCF, LDCF, Adaptation Fund Market based & Innovative Sources of Financing Carbon Finance (CDM/JI, VC, sectoral credit + financing) Insurance + other risk financing Innovative mechanisms (e.g. IFIs, air levies etc…) UN/UNDP E&E Trust Funds (TF) MDG Spanish Fund, E&E TF Multi/bi lateral funds WB: CIF, FCPF, CPF Japan CEP, Norway CFI, Germany ICI, Australia IFCI Institutional & Corporate Finance Private equity funds Green bonds New UNFCC Related Funds REDD fund (s) Fast Start Funds (s) COP green climate fund (M/A, REDD, TT, CD) Technology mechanisms $6 - 8 billion $ Amounts available in developing countries (2010-2014) $15 billion $400 billion $200- 500 million $80 billion $75-150 billion Foundations/Private Coorperation UNF, Packard, Gates, Rockefeller $4 billion
