This project aims to improve the state of coastal resilience for vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and coastal developing countries, where the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance’s (ORRAA) financial products and projects apply. The aim of ORRAA is to foster collaboration amongst the finance and insurance sectors, governments and environmental organizations to pioneer finance and insurance products that incentivize investment into nature-based solutions.
The project activities include: (1) delivering ORRAA Innovation Challenge workshops to identify new products and projects; (2) developing a technical analysis on the incorporation of gender considerations into ocean risk projects; and (3) presenting policy recommendations on the mitigation of ocean risks for the most vulnerable communities at international forums. This project benefits the most vulnerable communities, particularly women and girls, in coastal developing countries, SIDS, and other low-lying areas.

As part of its $2.65 billion climate finance commitment, Canada is providing $200 million over 2016/17 to 2019/20, for the second phase of the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in Asia (CFPS II). This fund aims to catalyze private investment in climate change action in developing countries, including small-island developing states. Using concessional financing, this fund enables private investment in climate change projects that would not otherwise happen due to market barriers to investment.
More information on the fund and Canada’s partnership with the Asian Development Bank supported projects can be found here: https://www.adb.org/site/funds/funds/canadian-climate-fund-for-the-private-sector-in-asia-2

This project seeks to reduce people's vulnerability to natural disasters throughout Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on women and children. The project aims to increase the resilience of Southeast Asians to natural disasters by helping communities to work better with national governments and regional organizations to establish more effective disaster risk reduction plans and policies. The project strengthens the ability of national Red Cross Societies and regional organizations to represent and communicate the needs of vulnerable groups who are often more severely affected by disasters.
It also helps the Red Cross Societies work with national governments and regional organizations, to ensure that laws and policies for disaster risk reduction take into account issues related to vulnerable communities, gender equality, and the environment. The project contributes to the development and implementation of work-plans on disaster risk reduction between the Red Cross National Societies and regional organizations. It also supports the Red Cross National Societies to build awareness and skills related to International Disaster Response Law at the regional, national and community levels.
