ADB and the Climate Investment Funds: Climate Change Innovation and Action in Asia and the Pacific
Asian Development Bank | January 2014
Abstract
Since the inception of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has participated in the preparation of 16 investment plans in 14 countries. Under these plans, ADB is administering $1.6 billion in funding for 37 projects across the region. This document presents ADB’s experience in the development of CIF programs and highlights some of the innovative transformations anticipated or already achieved by ADB projects using CIF funding. In particular this overview of ADB/CIF activities in the region demonstrates ADB’s continuing commitment to build the capacities of its DMCs to address climate change by delivering not only finance, but also critical knowledge and technology as well as leveraging additional finance, particularly from the private sector.
