CF_D10 D2.3 Report containing methodology to build investment strategy

The aim of this CLIMATEFIT deliverable (D2.3) is to describe the methodologies to be used by PAs for developing pipelines of investable projects across adaptation action, considering the needs of Public Authorities (PAs) to receive guidance and build capacity on how to mobilize finance for climate adaptation. While it is designed as a tool to provide help and guidance to PAs across Europe tackling adaptation financing issues, for the purpose of the CLIMATEFIT project, facilitators are intended as the primary users of this document. Facilitators are the identified project partners in charge of supporting the CLIMATEFIT case studies in their transformational journey to climate resilience, tailoring and applying the methodology. In particular, in the case of the 4 leader territories, facilitators are supported by the fast-track mechanism to help them progress quickly in the process. The overall goal is co-designing 20 innovative Investment Strategies (IS), allowing to identify sources of finance, and developing 10 credible and scalable investment plans (IP) to help better negotiate and articulate financing streams and define investment concepts (IC). The outputs of this project are primarily directed towards PAs leadership (e.g. mayors) and FIEs, including financial analysts, in order to align their interests, financial needs financial resources. This document is therefore tailored to PAs; all concepts and methodologies are introduced and e
