However, support for mitigation activities - including developing green energy sources and enhancing energy efficiency - lags behind. Although these countries are not significant contributors to GHG emissions at the global level, they require additional funding to pursue low carbon development. Support to improve access to sustainable energy and energy independence and to increase energy security is critical to achieving the low carbon future envisaged by many SIDS (Pacific Island Forum, 2013). For LDCs, climate change ODA has more than doubled from 2010 to 2013, mostly due to a continuous increase in adaptation-related development finance (USD3.2 billion to USD 6.4 billion (OECD, 2016b)), but more dramatically due to a tripling of the resources dedicated to climate change mitigation in 2013 compared with the previous year. This increase was due to large (over USD 150 million) loans and grants for the energy sector in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Malawi and Myanmar. However, adaptation remains the main focus of climate-related support to LDCs.
