Who is currently paying for adaptation in countries like Bangladesh?

With time running out on @cop30brazil.bsky.social, @concernworldwide.bsky.social's Afsari Begum takes a moment to remind us all on exactly why we need progress on adaptation finance for developing countries. #COP30

Finalising the Global Goal on Adaptation indicators and advancing the Baku Adaptation Roadmap at @cop30brazil.bsky.social is essential to scaling up adaptation at all levels.

Join @concernworldwide.bsky.social and NACOM as they highlight the financing barriers faced by climate-vulnerable countries, present evidence on the cascading human and economic costs of disasters in Bangladesh, and propose recommendations that will reflect on the Baku to Belém Roadmap!
This @cop30brazil.bsky.social event will bring Bangladesh’s experiences to the global stage.

The event will highlight the financing gaps that undermine resilience and propose solutions for adaptation and loss and damage that are accessible, just, and grant based.

Bangladesh stands on the frontline of the climate crisis.

In 2024 alone, the country was struck by more than six major climate-induced disasters, including record floods, cyclones, heatwaves, and lightning strikes.

As week one of @cop30brazil.bsky.social draws to a close, Barbara Rosen Jacobson of Mercy Corps checks in to tell us how things have been progressing around all things adaptation finance.

There have been promising developments - can week two deliver? As Barbara says: stay tuned...
November 15, 2025 at 2:47 PM
The recent ruling by the International Court of Justice has significant repercussions for climate finance - so what should that look like at @cop30brazil.bsky.social?

Stu Solomon of @planglobal.bsky.social with the latest update from Belém.

At @cop30brazil.bsky.social, calls for a new adaptation finance commitment are increasing and pressure is building on developed countries to provide more public funding for adaptation.

Meanwhile, some still look to the private sector to close the adaptation finance gap - but do the numbers add up?
November 14, 2025 at 4:44 PM
Private adaptation finance currently represents only 3% of total adaptation finance needs but has the potential to increase to around 15%.

But what is the role, potential and limits of private adaptation finance?

Today's @cop30brazil.bsky.social update comes from @concernworldwide.bsky.social's Laura Bahlman. Progress remains slow, but it's been promising to see climate finance (and specifically adaptation finance) rear its head in various places!
Let's see what happens next...
November 13, 2025 at 9:40 PM
For vulnerable communities around the world, adaptation is a lifeline. Despite this, adaptation is consistently underfunded.

It is crucial that a new adaptation finance commitment is agreed at @cop30brazil.bsky.social – one that more closely reflects the needs of developing countries.
November 13, 2025 at 1:30 PM
@cop30brazil.bsky.social must make adaptation finance an urgent priority.

Hosted by @concernworldwide.bsky.social, @planglobal.bsky.social, Mercy Corps and @practicalaction.bsky.social, this event will evaluate progress and explore how to deliver on adaptation.

Day 3 @cop30brazil.bsky.social is drawing to a close, and Kristen Ostling (@planglobal.bsky.social / @plancanada.bsky.social) has been following the negotiations.

Here's why this conference is so important for the next generation of children and youth, and why their perspective must not be ignored.

New insights into whether the private sector can help close the gap between the amount of money needed to adapt to climate change, and what has been promised.

Tommy Chimpanzi of @concernworldwide.bsky.social has been busy in Belém, participating in Resilience Hub events and tracking what the Least Developed Countries group - currently chaired by his native Malawi - expects from @cop30brazil.bsky.social.

Thanks for the update, Tommy!

"A September report by multi-stakeholder
@zcralliance.bsky.social said public funding remains crucial. Private finance now makes up just 3% of adaptation funding, which could rise to 15% with supportive policies, it said."
