This project will spur the implementation of adaptation measures to climate change in the project areas by incentivizing private investment in adaptation measures by piloting, developing, and deploying an Adaptation Equivalency Index (AEI) in Guatemala and Honduras, along with a toolkit for adoption and implementation of the index. The Adaptation Equivalency Index is a framework that will allow for the quantification of impact of investments in adaptation measures for supply chains. The AEI will build on nascent efforts to develop a new asset class (adaptation credits) that monetizes adaptation benefits such as reduced vulnerability to the effects of climate change, and improved resiliency for the environment and for men and women living in smallholder farming communities.
