National Economic, Environment and Development Study (NEEDS) for Climate Change Project

The main objectives of the NEEDS project were to support participating countries in selecting priority mitigation and adaptation measures, assessing the financing required to implement those measures, and identifying appropriate financial and regulatory instruments to support these measures. Eleven countries participated in the project, each producing a country report presenting their identified priority actions and the financing required to implement them. These reports are useful as examples of how other countries have approached this challenge, if not necessarily best practice in all cases.
