This evidence review examined evidence on climate change adaptation interventions and their effectiveness between 2007 and 2018. Results from 464 studies are included in an evidence gap map, which shows large disparities in evidence by geographic region, sector, interventions, and outcomes. The evidence review also presents intervention heat maps, which illustrate where GCF resources have been allocated, and a meta-analysis which assessed the role of credit in contributing to the adoption of adaptation measures by farmers in low- and middle-income countries.

Evidence gap map and intervention heat maps: Climate change adaptation in low- and middle-Income countries

February 2020

This evidence review examined evidence on climate change adaptation interventions and their effectiveness between 2007 and 2018. Results from 464 studies are included in an evidence gap map which shows large disparities in evidence by geographic region, sector, interventions, and outcomes.        

 

Meta-analysis: Access to credit as a determinant of autonomous adaptation to climate change: A meta-analysis of the evidence

January 2021

This meta-analysis report builds on the evidence gap map (EGM) and intervention heat map (IHM) that examines the evidence regarding the effectiveness of climate change adaptation interventions and linked financial flows in low- and middle-income countries. This study assesses the role that access to credit plays in determining the uptake of adaptation measures in the agricultural sector.
