Impact Report: UN CTCN Phase I
In 2020, the Adaptation Fund launched the Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA) to foster innovation in adaptation in developing countries. The AFCIA I programme strives towards the ultimate goal of fostering innovation for adaptation. AFCIA enables meaningful change for climate change resilience across the Global South.
By examining the successes, challenges, and lessons learned, the report provides a comprehensive overview of how AFCIA I has contributed to advancing climate adaptation solutions and strengthening resilience in developing countries. This analysis will lay the foundation for the next phase, UNEP CTCN-AFCIA II, which will pilot climate technologies in new contexts while strengthening the National System of Innovation of these countries so that climate technology can be further deployed.
It is also a rich source to inform and support other programmes and organizations on their own climate adaptation journey, and enable continued progress toward scaling up transformative climate technologies globally.
