Obtaining climate finance, both domestically and externally, is challenging, particularly for developing countries. They often face difficulty combining local knowledge with appropriate technologies and have limited implementation capabilities. Securing external financing can create debt sustainability problems for governments in small and vulnerable countries.

In partnership with ADA University, Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU), Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communication (CAERC), Khazar University, this ADBI Call for Papers on Climate Finance and Solutions aims to address these and other problems in scaling up climate financing and strategies that apply innovative policies and promising technologies (including business models and market designs) as solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation, particularly for developing countries in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.
