The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), the ASEAN Capital Markets Forum (ACMF), and the Sustainable Finance Institute Asia (SFIA) are beginning a new collaboration to enhance adaptation finance across the ASEAN region. This partnership seeks to address the pressing challenges posed by climate change, particularly in vulnerable areas that require immediate financial support for adaptation measures.

The collaboration aims to mobilize private sector investments and create innovative financial solutions tailored to the unique needs of ASEAN countries. By fostering dialogue among stakeholders, the initiative intends to build a more resilient financial ecosystem that can effectively respond to climate impacts.

This strategic alliance will focus on developing frameworks and tools that facilitate access to adaptation finance, ensuring that both public and private entities can participate in funding climate-resilient projects. Through this partnership, the organizations hope to catalyze significant investments that will strengthen the region's capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions and safeguard its economic future.
