Online Platform Aims to Boost Climate Change Adaptation Funding in the Coral Triangle

On March 26, 2013, the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) launched an online platform to match climate change adaptation projects needing support in the six CTI member countries—Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste—with investors and funding organizations.

The Adaptation Marketplace website provides an interactive and user-friendly space for both project developers and funders to present their requirements based on funding level, location, and project focus. The site also highlights climate change projects that are aligned with the CTI national and regional plans of action, as well as the development plans of Coral Triangle countries and their national adaptation programs. The Adaptation Marketplace has been jointly developed by the Coral Triangle Initiative in collaboration with WWF, U.S.-based website developers EcoAdapt, and USAID’s Coral Triangle Support Partnership.
