FUTURE TRENDS COP 21 decision 1/CP.21: • Developed countries strongly urged to “scale up their level of financial support, with a concrete road map ” to achieve $100bn goal; • “ Significantly increasing adaptation finance from current levels ” ; • “intend Developed countries to continue their existing collective mobilization goal through 2025 ” ; • Prior to 2025, “the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement shall set a new collective quantified goal from a floor of USD 100 billion ” . Paris Agreement, Article 9.4: “The provision of scaled-up financial resources should aim to achieve a balance between adaptation and mitigation, taking into account country- driven strategies, and the priorities and needs of developing country Parties, especially those that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change and have significant capacity constraints, such as the least developed countries and small island developing States, considering the need for public and grant-based resources for adaptation. ” (Emphases added) UNFCCC (2015) Decision 1/CP.21: Adoption of the Paris Agreement http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2015/cop21/eng/10a01.pdf
