Climate Resilience Principles - A framework for assessing climate resilience investments

There is an urgent need to increase finance for climate Adaptation and Resilience(A&R). Doing so requires the deployment of a variety of different sources of finance, including green bonds. This paper presents the key aspects relevant to describing and assessing the broad range of potential climate resilience investments, and from that, a set of Climate Resilience Principles (“the Principles”) for evaluating the appropriateness and effectiveness of climate resilience investments.

This paper was prepared by the Climate Bonds Initiative, Climate Resilience Consulting (CRC) and World Resources Institute (WRI), based on input and advice from the Adaptation and Resilience Working Group (AREG).
