Billions of dollars are annually transferred to poor nations to help them adapt to the effects of climate change. This Element examines how the discourses on adaptation finance of many developing country negotiators, environmental groups, development charities, academics and international bureaucrats have renewed a specific vision of aid, that of an aid intended to respond to international injustices and to fuel a regular transfer of resources between rich and poor countries. By reviewing manifestations of this normative vision of aid in key contemporary debates on adaptation finance, the author shows how these discourses have contributed to the significant financial mobilisation of developed countries towards adaptation in the Global South. But there remains a stark contrast between the many expectations associated with these discourses and today's adaptation finance landscape.

How is the struggle against climate change financed? Climate Finance: Theory and Practice gives an overview of the key debates that have emerged in the field of climate finance, including those concerned with efficiency, equity, justice, and contribution to the public good between developed and developing countries. With the collaboration of internationally renowned experts in the field of climate finance, the authors of this book highlight the importance of climate finance, showing the theoretical aspects that influence it, and some practices that are currently being implemented or have been proposed to finance mitigation and adaptation policies in the developed and developing world.

The Berlin Workshop Series 2010 presents selected papers from meetings held September 28 30, 2008, at the eleventh annual forum co-hosted by InWEnt and the World Bank in preparation for the Bank s annual World Development Report. At the 2008 meetings, key researchers and policy makers from Europe, the United States, and developing countries met to explore the problems that climate governance poses for development, which are later examined in depth in the 'World Development Report 2010'. This volume presents papers from the Berlin workshop sessions on climate governance and development, covering climate change as a development priority; policies and technologies for energy and development; natural resource governance for adaptation, mitigation, and development; non-state actors and climate governance; financing adaptation and mitigation in an unequal world; and changing institutions of governance for climate change. IN THIS VOLUME: Introduction by Aehyung Kim and Boris Pleskovic; opening remarks by Carola Donner-Reichle; keynote addresses by Rosina Bierbaum and Justin Yifu Lin; and papers by Richard J. T. Klein, Judith A. Layzer, Claudia Kemfert, Siri Eriksen, Kedziora and Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz, David Rogers, Charlotte Streck, John Scanlon and Clara Nobbe, and Hugh Compston and Ian Bailey.

This working paper analyses the nature of international adaptation finance received in Kenya and Tanzania, with particular emphasis on the extent to which the projects were devolved and thus potentially more responsive to the priorities for climate change adaptation as determined by local governments (LGs) and communities. The analysis is based on the OECD database of projects in the period 2013-2019 with projects selected based on their financial value, measured as 'adaptationrelated development finance'. During this period Tanzania received USD 2.0 billion as adaptation-related development finance, whereas Kenya received USD 3.3 billion. In each country, the research team selected the most valuable projects that together constitute 70% of total adaptation-related development finance in the two countries. A method for analysis of the project documents to measure degree of devolution was developed with three main parameters: (i) the extent to which finance was managed through local government accounts; (ii) the extent to which the projects in the respective national budgets were considered devolved; and (iii) the extent to which funding was discretionary and using of participatory planning arrangements for management of the funds. Given Kenya's greater emphasis on devolution, its fiscal strengths, and the autonomy of its counties, when compared to Tanzanian local governments, it was assumed that adaptation-related development finance would be relatively more devolved in Kenya than Tanzania. However, preliminary analysis suggests otherwise. The analysis also suggests that projects classified by development partners as 'adaptation-related development finance' in several cases exaggerate levels of funding and only contribute marginally to improved local governance of climate adaption activities. This analysis is an initial step of a four-year comparative research programme on the governance of climate change adaptation finance in the two countries. The article raises key issues for future in- depth country and local research.
