This paper discusses approaches to climate finance in the Asia-Pacific region.

It explores the evolution of the climate finance landscape and looks at a variety of international and national actors, including development finance institutions, international climate funds, governments and relevant government agencies. The paper then goes on to look at the regional landscape of climate finance in the Asia-Pacific, with particular attention to active climate funds, multilateral development banks, the distribution of climate finance across countries, and national-level initiatives, including both those funded by international and domestic sources of climate finance. An analysis of regional trends focused on selected regional experiences in a variety of sectors is provided.  Finally, the paper provides recommendations for policymakers on how to effectively address identified challenges and mobilise additional resources for climate finance across the Asia-Pacific region.
