QUESTION

".... Regarding public and private sources of climate finance, participants noted that public finance is crucial to climate action and an enabler of private sector investment. Some participants highlighted that, even though public finance is essential for climate action, it is insufficient to enable the energy transition, and private sector finance is needed. In that regard, participants shared concerns about current private sector engagement in climate action in developing countries.

Case Studies

Renewable Energy Projects in Fiji:

Fiji has implemented several successful climate finance projects focused on renewable energy development. For example, the Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA) partnered with international organizations and donor agencies to finance the construction of solar power plants and wind farms across the islands. These projects have increased the share of renewable energy in Fiji's electricity generation mix, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Impact assessments have shown improved energy access, reduced energy costs, and environmental benefits, such as mitigating climate change impacts.

Climate-Resilient Infrastructure in Samoa:

In Samoa, climate finance has been used to enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure to climate change impacts.

Through partnerships with multilateral development banks and international donors, Samoa has implemented projects to strengthen coastal protection, upgrade water supply systems, and improve disaster preparedness and response mechanisms.

These initiatives have demonstrated the importance of integrating climate resilience considerations into infrastructure planning and development.

Impact assessments have highlighted the effectiveness of climate-resilient infrastructure in reducing vulnerability to extreme weather events and enhancing community resilience

Mangrove Conservation and Restoration in Solomon Islands:

The Solomon Islands has received climate finance support for mangrove conservation and restoration projects aimed at ecosystem-based adaptation.

By preserving and restoring mangrove forests, these projects enhance coastal protection, biodiversity conservation, and livelihood resilience for coastal communities.

Climate finance has been channeled through international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and community-based initiatives to fund mangrove rehabilitation efforts, such as replanting degraded areas and establishing protected marine areas.

Impact assessments have shown the multiple benefits of mangrove conservation, including carbon sequestration, habitat preservation, and coastal hazard mitigation
