Asia-Pacific is one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions — home to 13 of the 30 most at-risk countries — and stands to lose a large share of GDP under a high emissions scenario unless action is accelerated. 

Climate finance is therefore essential: existing flows meet only a fraction of adaptation needs and the region faces a persistent finance gap that undermines resilience-building, inclusive development and the achievement of NDCs and NAPs. 

This Regional Dialogue brings together governments, financiers, development partners, philanthropy and local actors to surface practical financing pathways, align public and private resources, and scale locally led solutions that protect the most vulnerable.

Organized by the UNDP Climate Finance Network and UNCDF with support from the UK Government through the FCDO and the Swedish Government through Sida, the Dialogue aims to turn financing commitments into measurable, equitable action on the ground.
