Author: Rachel Cooper

This K4DD Rapid Evidence Review examines investment opportunities and needs in Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS), emphasising climate finance, renewable energy, and the blue economy.

It highlights the challenges faced by Pacific SIDS, such as economic vulnerabilities and high climate risk. Key strategies to attract private investment include improving enabling environments, de-risking investments, and enhancing project pipelines.

Existing investment vehicles like blended finance, green bonds, and regional finance facilities are discussed, along with recommendations to integrate climate risk into planning and boost public financial management.
