CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION
Problem
The current and future impacts of climate change pose substantial threats and costs to businesses and communities across Latin America and the Caribbean. These impacts will disproportionately fall on groups and sectors that are among the most vulnerable and least capable to identify, manage and adapt to these challenges: low-income populations, microfinance institutions (MFIs), micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and women and other traditionally excluded groups.
Objective:
The MIF aims to help MSMEs, MFIs and low-income populations become more resilient and capable of managing and adapting to the risks and impacts of climate change and variability.

WHAT IS PROADAPT?
Building Climate Resilience and Business Opportunities PROADAPT is a 5 year, US$11,685,000 program financed by the MIF and the Nordic Development Fund (NDF) that will help SMEs, value chains and communities to build climate resilience into assets and operations, and to explore the emerging field of tools, products and services that cater to the need to adapt to climate change. What does PROADAPT finance?
PROADAPT will finance technical assistance projects that provide training, new analytical tools, methodologies, stakeholder outreach and awareness-raising.
PROADAPT will finance the implementation of business models and strategies to enable selected SMEs to identify and capitalize on the demand for services and products generated by the need for climate resilience.
PROADAPT will also finance market assessments and other studies that will facilitate replicating and scaling of successful pilot projects in the region and beyond.
For further information and to apply for PROADAPT assistance, please inquire at proadapt@fomin.org. In this video of the MIF’s Steve Wilson and Zach Levey, the program coordinators, explain the basics of PROADAPT.
