About ABM
The Adaptation Benefits Mechanism (ABM) is an innovative approach designed to accelerate climate adaptation. By certifying measurable adaptation benefits through a rigorous process, ABM promotes resilient, low‐carbon, and sustainable development for communities and ecosystems.
Leveraging robust methodologies and best practices, ABM creates a new model for adaptation. It drives transformative action by quantifying real impacts, thereby encouraging innovative strategies to meet global climate and national adaptation goals.

Activities
ABM Cycle for Project Developers
The Adaptation Benefits Mechanism (ABM) is a results-based finance mechanism that aims to attract public and private sector funding to projects and programmes that enable households, communities, economies, and ecosystems to adapt to and build resilience against the adverse effects of climate change.
ABM Validation
The ABM validation process ensures that project proposals meet the required standards for climate adaptation benefits. This includes verification of the project methodology, baseline assessment, and expected climate resilience outcomes.
ABM Registration
Once validated, projects can be officially registered in the ABM registry. This step establishes the project within the ABM framework and creates transparency for all stakeholders, enabling monitoring of progress and results.
ABM Grievance
The ABM grievance mechanism provides a structured process for stakeholders to raise concerns or complaints regarding the implementation of projects. This ensures accountability and transparency, allowing for timely resolution of issues.
ABM Activity Cycle
The ABM activity cycle outlines the entire project lifecycle from conception to completion, including planning, implementation, monitoring, verification, and issuance of adaptation benefit certificates.
