Produced by the DFAT-funded Water for Women Fund in partnership with SAGANA, this learning brief examines the international climate finance landscape and what it means for climate-resilient inclusive WASH development.

It explores the extent to which inclusive climate-resilient WASH interventions should focus on climate risk, when a greater or lesser emphasis on climate risk is appropriate, and the implications for international financing. It notes that the rise of climate finance marks a transformative shift in the global response to climate change at a time when reductions in official development assistance are putting civil society organisations under pressure to find new funding sources.
