Of the total global public adaptation finance of 28 billion USD, East Asia and the Asia-Pacific attracted 46% of the total funding, while South Asian countries attracted only 9% of the total funding . These differences reflect the capacity of countries to attract adaptation finance. Some of the important adaptation-targeted climate funds are Pilot Programmes for Climate Resilience, Green Climate Fund, and Least-Developed Countries Fund, and South Asian countries have significantly benefited from these dedicated climate funds. Due to the disaster implications of climate change, there is a need to allocate adaptation finances for DRR. Estimates suggest that East Asia and the Asia-Pacific in general allocated 27% of the total adaptation funds to DRR, while South Asia allocated 25% . Low-income economies tend to allocate more adaptation funds to DRR , while lower-middle-income economies allocated 22%.
