US Govt Reaffirms Commitment To AfDB-supported Climate Adaptation Benefit Mechanism(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The American Government has reaffirmed its resolve and commitment to support the climate Adaptation Benefit Mechanism, which is driven by the African Development Bank (AfDB). Under the Adaptation Benefit Mechanism, development partners, consumers, funds and philanthropists will sign purchase agreements for Certified Adaptation Benefits. Adaptation Benefit Mechanism projects will also incorporate an approved methodology defining the expected adaptation benefits and enabling certification of outcomes that lead to the achievement of desired impacts. This, according to the panelists, includes the Adaptation Benefit Mechanism and the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Programme. Kuhlow said the Biden administration had equally committed to support the Adaptation Benefit Mechanism in its 2023/2024 budget.
