3 overview mapping of adaptation aid to Pacific Island Countries (PICs) between 2010 and 2014 as reported in OECD CRS * focus on overall volume main providers distribution across recipients (total, per capita, percent) distribution across sectors who gives to whom? *Data from the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS), retrieved 5 January 2016 from 3

5 OECD aid data Rio Marker for adaptation since 2010 projects where adaptation is the principal or a significant objective data source a note of caution donors own classification problems with over-reporting * and mislabeling disbursements, including loans and grants * See e.g. AdaptationWatch (2015). Toward Mutual Accountability. 5
