Convergence Blended Finance has just released its State of Blended Finance 2024: Climate Edition report! The report finds that although it has been a landmark year for climate blended finance, with the market seeing its highest ever annual financing total in 2023, gaps remain. Particularly in climate adaptation, which continues to be underfunded. The report also found that increased investment in cross-cutting transactions, which contain both climate adaptation and mitigation components, represents an opportunity to close the funding gap for adaptation.
