The geographical distribution of climate finance for agriculture by Hoogzaad J, Hoberg J, Haupt, F.

“…From 2010 to 2012, climate finance in the agricultural sector shifted dramatically to increase public funds for adaptation (USD 155 to 314 million) and decrease private funds for climate change mitigation (USD 289 to 48 million), primarily due to declining carbon prices in 2010 and 2011 and countries’ commitments to fast-start finance under the UNFCCC. Emerging economies such as China, South Africa, Brazil, Uzbekistan and Mexico were the main beneficiaries from carbon-market finance for mitigation, while Sub-Saharan Africa was the main beneficiary when finance shifted to adaptation. …”
