To guide project teams in achieving the highest quality in the analysis, design, implementation and information & knowledge management of CBA projects, we have developed the CBA Project Standards. These standards represent the key criteria that must be achieved to ensure the quality of process and outputs of different stages of the project cycle. Most importantly, the achievement of these standards will help to ensure that CBA projects make a sustainable contribution to the adaptive capacity of project stakeholders.

Pacific Island nations need more finance to adapt to the adverse effects of global warming, but they also need to manage the funds effectively, to benefit their most vulnerable communities.

The challenges they face include: improved coordination by donors; strengthened management across departments and with local governments; and better engagement with civil society.
Addressing challenges posed by climate change requires significant financial resources. In the growing literature of climate change, “climate finance” refers to financial resources required to cover the costs of climate actions and investments2. Climate finance is complex because of the diversity of sources of funds, agents and channels to distribute the funds to intended beneficiaries at different levels and scales. The expected scale of climate finance is also significant. Developed countries have committed to mobilize new and additional resources for climate investments.
