An activity is classified as related to climate change adaptation if it intends to reduce the vulnerability of human or natural systems to the current and expected impacts of climate change by maintaining or increasing resilience, by increasing ability to adapt to, or absorb, climate change stresses, shocks and variability, and/or by helping reduce exposure to them (OECD, 2016a). The DAC CRS also tracks flows from some South-South co-operation sources. This database does not include financial flows at the activity-level from some non-DAC member donors such as the People’s Republic of China (hereafter “China”) and the Russian Federation (hereafter “Russia”) or private sector sources, which are presumably prov iding a significant amount of finance to the EECCA region.
