Climate Finance for Sustaining Peace: Analysis Summary

This study by UNDP, the Climate Security Mechanism (CSM), and the Nataij Group examines how climate finance can address climate-related security risks in conflict-affected and fragile contexts. Key findings are:

1. Unequal Access to Climate Finance:

   • Extremely fragile states receive less climate finance per capita and per country compared to fragile and non-fragile states.
   • Only one of the top 15 recipients among fragile/extremely fragile states was extremely fragile, highlighting significant disparities.

2. Funding Trends:

   • Projects in extremely fragile states are smaller and focus more on adaptation, while non-fragile states receive higher funding per capita for mitigation.
   • Co-financing ratios are higher in non-fragile states, making climate finance less accessible in conflict-affected areas.

3. Gaps and Opportunities:

   • Conflict and fragility affect climate finance access through challenges like data scarcity, limited absorptive capacity, and security risks for staff and projects.
   • Integrating conflict analysis into project development and using specialized pathways (e.g., specific calls for proposals) could improve outcomes.

4. Recommendations:

   • Project Integration: Incorporate conflict and security risks into environmental/social safeguard policies and project templates.
   • Metrics and Measurement: Develop indicators to track peacebuilding co-benefits alongside climate outcomes.
   • Cross-Cutting Approaches: Promote regional projects addressing shared climate and security risks.
   • Targeted Support: Establish mechanisms like dedicated funding windows for climate-security nexus projects.

Several gaps remain, such as the lack of systematic peacebuilding metrics in climate finance and the need for better data tracking, particularly in crisis contexts. Learning exchanges and technical platforms could help address these challenges by fostering cross-sector collaboration.
