DEVELOPMENT AID AND ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANG...

This book examines development aid for climate change adaptation. Increasing amounts of aid are
used to help developing countries adapt to climate change. The authors seek to discover how
this aid is distributed and what constitutes the patterns of adaptation-aid giving. Does it
help vulnerable countries  as donors promise  or does it help donors achieve economic and
political gains? Set against the backdrop of international climate change negotiations and the
aid allocation literature  Betzold and Weiler's empirical analysis proceeds in three steps:
firstly they assess adaptation aid as reported by the OECD  then statistically examine patterns
in adaptation aid allocation  and finally qualitatively investigate adaptation aid in three
large climate donors: Germany  Sweden and the United Kingdom. With its mixed-method research
design and comprehensive data  this work provides a unique  state-of-the-art analysis of
adaptation aid as a new stream of development aid.
