亚行与绿色气候基金在 COP31 启动太平洋韧性计划 拟动员逾10亿美元覆盖14个岛屿经济体

亚洲开发银行、绿色气候基金、库克群岛与帕劳政府及合作伙伴在 COP31 气候大会期间启动一项太平洋气候韧性计划,拟动员超过10亿美元资金,帮助14个太平洋岛屿经济体保护住房、生计与关键基础设施,应对海平面上升与日益猛烈的风暴。
这项名为气候行动区域计划性方案(RPACA)的倡议,是在绿色气候基金批准2.5亿美元赠款后启动的。这笔赠款将与亚行的赠款、优惠贷款及其他融资组合使用,支持道路、供水、电力系统、海岸防护与城市基础设施建设。
计划预计惠及约370万太平洋岛民,约占参与经济体人口的四分之一。符合条件的经济体包括库克群岛、密克罗尼西亚联邦、斐济、基里巴斯、马绍尔群岛、瑙鲁、纽埃、帕劳、巴布亚新几内亚、萨摩亚、所罗门群岛、汤加、图瓦卢与瓦努阿图。绿色气候基金表示,该计划使其在太平洋地区的承诺总额达到12亿美元,另有20亿美元联合融资。
ADB and Green Climate Fund launch Pacific resilience programme at COP31, aiming to mobilise more than $1 billion across 14 island economies
The Asian Development Bank, the Green Climate Fund, the governments of the Cook Islands and Palau, and partners have launched a Pacific climate resilience initiative during COP31, aiming to mobilise more than $1 billion to help 14 Pacific island economies protect homes, livelihoods and key infrastructure from rising seas and increasingly destructive storms.
The initiative, formally known as the Regional Programmatic Approach for Climate Action, or RPACA, was launched following the Green Climate Fund's approval of a $250 million grant for the programme. The grant will be combined with ADB grants, concessional loans and other financing to strengthen roads, water supplies, power systems, coastal defences and urban infrastructure.
The programme is expected to reach 3.7 million Pacific Islanders, nearly one in four people across the participating economies. Eligible economies are the Cook Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. The Green Climate Fund said the programme brings its commitment across the Pacific to $1.2 billion, with a further $2 billion in cofinancing.
