How can we bridge the climate adaptation and resilience funding gap, currently less than a third of the $200 billion needed annually? The latest blog from Jonathan Phillips, Jo Puri, Ph.D and Rania A. Al-Mashat explores innovative approaches to monetizing resilience benefits, highlighting the value propositions for different stakeholders, and the financial and non-financial returns from resilience investments. The piece is part of the Resilience Monetization and Credit Initiative, a collaborative effort by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Ministry of International Cooperation, the The James E. Rogers Energy Access Project at Duke, and the NDC Partnership. Contributing their expertise to this initiative are: Marc Jeuland, Pablo Abba Vieira Samper, Mahinour Aboulatta, Saib Ahmad, Jahan Chowdhury, Alejandro Diaz Herrera, Mirna Elsharief, Farida Farghal, Nada Tawfik, Liilnna Teji, and Drew von Glahn
Over $200 billion is required annually to meet adaptation and resilience investment targets in sectors such as water, energy, agriculture and early-warning systems – three times current funding. Investing in adaptation and resilience reduces exposure to #climate risks and yields financial benefits for all stakeholders. However, accurate measurement and monetization of resilience are essential to creating market-based financial instruments such as #resilience credits.

How can we bridge the $194-366 billion/year adaptation finance gap? The latest from the The James E. Rogers Energy Access Project at Duke, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Ministry of International Cooperation, and NDC Partnership – Resilience Monetization and Credit Initiative (RMCI) lays out innovative ways to measure, value, and monetize resilience benefits, aiming to create a new asset class – "Resilience Credits" – to unlock investment in climate resilience. The brains behind the background paper: Rania A. Al-Mashat, Marc Jeuland, Jo Puri, Ph.D, Pablo Abba Vieira Samper, Mahinour Aboulatta, Saib Ahmad, Jahan Chowdhury, Alejandro Diaz Herrera, Mirna Elsharief, Farida Farghal, Jonathan Phillips, Nada Tawfik, Liilnna Teji, and Drew von Glahn https://lnkd.in/eSvBBcq3

🎉 Exciting news! Team EAP has just landed the Duke CRISP grant! Our project, "Monetizing Resilience to Mobilize Climate Capital: Understanding the Value of Climate-Smart Agriculture in East Africa," aims to support policy innovations that enhance resilience among smallholder farmers. Congrats! Marc Jeuland Jonathan Phillips Mark Borsuk Alex Pfaff Norbert Wilson James Moody Liilnna Teji Rahel Deribe Bekele William N. Ferris, Ph.D. Alejandro Diaz Herrera Dylan Munson
Forty-five Duke University scholars will pursue new research on sustainable, equitable solutions to address climate change and its effects, supported by Duke Climate Research Innovation Seed Program (CRISP) awards. 🌍 Meet the teams: http://bit.ly/crisp24 Twelve teams have collectively been awarded nearly $700,000 in the second round of CRISP funding to investigate topics such as equitable disaster recovery, community insurance, financing climate-smart agriculture, water quality challenges posed by sea level rise, forest-based carbon offsets and more. Funded teams include experts from seven Duke schools and three interdisciplinary institutes, in addition to partners from a dozen other universities and environmental organizations. CRISP advances the objectives of the Duke Climate Commitment (http://climate.duke.edu), which unites the university’s education, research, operations and public service missions to address climate challenges. The 2024 funding round was supported by an award from The Duke Endowment that kicked off the Climate Commitment. This year’s request for proposals attracted interest from across Duke, with 44 project teams applying for a total of $2.8 million.

Every dollar spent on adaptation and resilience is returned many times over in avoided costs, enhanced stability, etc. Not disputed. So what's it going to take to get these investments flowing to where they are needed most, getting private capital off the sideline in the process? There isn't a magic blending formula or perfect set of indicators. I think we need initiatives rooted in better data and measurement that credibly demonstrate who benefits and how much. Then we can start figuring out how much people, govs, and companies really value these benefits, and develop the financial structures to channel capital. I'm excited to be a part of one such initiative testing this hypothesis--anchored around a "resilience credit" instrument--with dedicated collaborators at the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Egyptian Ministry of International Cooperation, and the NDC Partnership. This article with Jo Puri, Ph.D and Rania A. Al-Mashat lays out the case and how we're thinking about the foundational measurement aspects.
