Abstract: 
This document aims to contribute to both the debate and the evidence on access to climate financing. It focuses on demand-side factors through a case study of quinoa producers in the Southern Altiplano region of Bolivia. Based on primary data collected by the INESAD Foundation, the results of this study show that producers do not have contingency plans to address climate-related shocks and perceive sustainable technologies as both costly and (therefore) requiring a higher investment. Barriers producers face in accessing financing include: low knowledge about available alternatives; income instability from their agricultural practices, which hinders financial planning and increases credit risk - further exacerbated by climate change and variability -, lack of collateral. In this context, the need for climate financing solutions tailored to the specific needs of quinoa producers is emphasized, with focus on technical assistance for sustainable agriculture and loan conditions that remain favorable and aligned with the agricultural cycles.
