(...) We underline the importance of putting in place specific incentive programmes to ensure that remittances are used for long-term investments in productive capacity building in LDCs; 33. (...) A delay in these projects will diminish not only short-term prospects for new FDI flows to LDCs but also decelerate long-term economic growth.18 FDI in the LDCs remains heavily concentrated in the extractive industries, often providing few forward and backward productive linkages within the economy.

As noted in the report of the in-session workshop on long-term climate finance in 2016,12 country-driven processes for the assessment of adaptation needs in developing countries are fundamental for scaling up adaptation finance. 13.
