## A Blueprint for Driving Change and Innovation in Climate Adaptation Investments in East Africa

This report combines an extensive literature review, a representative survey, and in-depth conversations with experts to provide rich insights into the climate adaptation investment ecosystem in East Africa.

#### A Deep Dive

 Comprehensive examination of the sectors most impacted by climate change, innovative physical climate adaptation technologies and business models, and the available investment channels.

#### Residents' Voice

 Survey findings from massive nationally representative samples of 5,000 respondents in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda conducted via the mobile phone.

#### Expert Take

 Learnings from over 34 hours of expert interviews with regional climate change specialists, investors, incubation hubs, and accelerators across East Africa.

As the world prepares for the COP 28 Climate Conference that has pledged to address adaptation funding for Africa, our research found that private investors remained almost entirely focused on reducing Africa’s carbon footprint. The report identifies an array of high-impact adaptation technologies in the sectors most impacted by climate change in the region: agriculture, health, and infrastructure.

   
This report offers a roadmap for informed decision-making, providing actionable recommendations to governments, investors, entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations looking to mainstream radical climate protection technologies in East Africa. It not only provides a deep understanding of the climate investment ecosystem challenges but also serves as a guide to harnessing opportunities and fostering innovation in climate adaptation technologies and financial models, making it an essential resource for anyone dedicated to solutions that protect the region from the effects of climate change.
