Driving Climate Adaptation: Innovative Finance for Crisis-Affected Contexts

Event Type
Session at Hamburg Sustainability Conference

Location / Date
Hamburg, 02.06.2025

Organizer

German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS)

IDOS Director Prof. Dr. Anna-Katharina Hornidge underlined the risks that lie in an increasing move towards ‘striking deals’, which are often transactional and undermine multi- and plurilateral decision-making, as well as weaken regional integration processes and the proliferation of multilateral climate funds and the resulting fragmentation and limited accessibility. She emphasised that in fragile and conflict-affected societies, climate finance must not only strengthen state structures, but must also ensure access for civil society organisations to promote inclusive adaptation and mitigation efforts. Over-concentration of support in executive branches risks further marginalising of already vulnerable populations.
